Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. 1st Edition. First edition, with dustjacket.

Light brown cloth-covered boards, blind stamped front board with raised mushroom cloud, 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches, 186 pp., index, illustrated with numerous b/w drawings. Moderate patchy erosion of cloth sizing, consistent with insect damage.

See photos before and after addition of an archival mylar cover. The front panel is especially bright and attractive in the mylar cover. No mention of a global thermonuclear war consisting predominantly of high altitude EMP attack, which could virtually destroy U.S. society with just a few weapons. Including loss of the ability to cool the spent fuel storage facilities at multiple nuclear reactor sites, resulting in catastrophic radioactive fires.
