Query: A striking, attention-grabbing tale of nuclear war.

I first read this book as a sophomore English student in Titusville, FL. Since one of the locales mentioned in the book was Patrick Air Force Base, FL (very near me), I imagined this story happening to me and the people I knew. It was an eye opening experience-would we be able to survive such a thing, and if we did, what kind of people would we become? It is now 33 years later, and the questions remain the same. This is a very thought-provoking book. It makes one want to never be a part of mass destruction of the human race. I think it should be mandatory reading for all high school or college students. It is a tale significant for those who retain their humanity, against all odds, vs. those who display animalistic tendencies as soon as they are challenged by adversity.
