5.0 out of 5 stars Also known as "Sixth Column", January 6, 2004

This review is from: The Day After Tomorrow (Hardcover)

This novel is now in print with it's original title of "Sixth Column", but I don't think the text has changed. What I remember from my readings over the years is that RAH cleaned up the story, and reduced much of the racism present in the original concept developed by Campbell.

Overall, an excellent novel with good characterizations, and a (then) plausible presentation of an implausible invention to save the nation's bacon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Standard early Heinlein fare, December 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Day After Tomorrow (Mass Market Paperback)

This story of life and rebellion in post-nuclear America is driven by an entertaining and fast-moving plot. It contains many of Heinlein's favorite themes: religion, mass psychology, indefatigable American optimism and ingenuity in the face of adversity and oppression. Not to mention the usual undertones of sexism and racism. Recommended for Heinlein fans who can't get enough from this flawed, but undeniably masterful, storyteller.
