Loved this book, from the first to last page. The writing style was straight forward and relatively unemotional, which really suited the subject matter. In fact at the end of the book the lack of emotion in the writing, made the end of the story that much more moving - this possibly sounds strange b...
Every major world leader should keep this book beneath his pillow. A splendid triumph of lyrical sadness, possibly the most delicate take on nuclear war ever written. Able to discuss complex matters of geopolitics and history with a very natural, very quiet honesty, it is one of the most disturbing ...

Although it was a bit dated, the most interesting reading for me was found in the day-to-day conversations. When you have a limited number of tomorrows do you stop planni...
