This Is The Way The World Ends: A Darkly Satirical Sci-Fi Apocalypse – Nebula Finalist

The Gulliver€s Travels of the nuclear age, the Alice in Wonderland of the arms race, this mordantly funny and visionary tale of the apocalypse was a Nebula finalist. The trouble starts when George Paxton ingenuously signs an admission of complicity in starting World War III. €œThe only book in the last ten years that I€ve read twice...a remarkable achievement€ (Arthur C. Clarke).
