Red Alert por Peter Bryant
The true genius in this book is how Stanley Kubrick came up with Dr. Strangelove out of this story. Red Alert is a serious Cold War Doomsday novel much like Fail-Safe even with a similar ending. Kubrick follows Peter Bryant’s basic plot line but layers it with insane black humor to provide a bizarro-world take on the whole “duck-and-cover” life in the Sixties. Skip the book and go straight to the film.
An excellent, terrifying work. However, it is also one of the few writings which the movie based upon it surpassed it. Peter Bryant despite his intense pessimism, saw a way out: the world lived on, the bombs didn't go off, and Russia and America began working towards world peace.

I found both the book the film was based on, and the novelisation of the film, quick reads. Neither of the books is very funny. With Red Alert that is entirely intentional; it is written as an Awful Warning, and even so a couple of the better lines survived to the film in improved form. By contrast, the book-of-the-film leaves out a lot of the good lines and really brings home just how much the film owes to Kubrick's directorial genius.… (más)

Intense story of nuclear bombers headed for the Soviet Union and the mistaken outbreak of World War III. It was the source for Dr. Strangelove, which morphed into a very black comedy. This book plays everything straight, but will still entertain you with its doomsday scenario.
