How would you survive nuclear war?

5 stars

I read this for the first time while I was in high school during the Cold War. I lived in a town that had a SAC base that also hosted nuclear ordinance. I've read it a few more times as an adult, too. While the story seems dated today, it's not hard to understand the struggles of surviving in a post-nuclear war world.
