A treasury of poems about nuclear war. In a stinging effort to confront mankind with the idiocy of its course toward self-destruction, Paul Dehn has taken the songs of our former innocence and readjusted each one to show how far we have departed from the spirit of the original. The result would be terrifying if it were not so funny - and funny if it were not so terrifying.
