5.0 out of 5 stars A Diary of the Terror of Nuclear War, January 26, 2003

This review is from: Ende: Tagebuch aus dem 3. Weltkrieg (German Edition) (Perfect Paperback)

From the cover of the book "Ende": QUOTE Ende - a diary of the third world war. The most powerful argument for nuclear disarmament ever published. Europe, mid-summer. When the Earth is most alive. Yet over the horizon, the war machine is out of control. Then death comes from the sky. A blinding light, a dull crump, the mushroom cloud. One man records the horrors that destroys his family and friends. From his despair there comes a ray of hope for the rest of us. UNQUOTE I guess that it should be no surprise that this book came out of Germany before the break-up of the Soviet Union and the reunification of Germany. I first read this in 1987, and eventually re-read it again in 1998, but the affect was just as compelling, and especially so in today's climate. It describes, in a very effective diary format, the political lead-up to the war, the public reaction to political developments, the war itself, the death, the destruction, the affects of the radiation fall-out, and the personal terror, all from the perspective of a young, married, German journalist. It had a great affect on me and I was stunned. I read the English version translated by Fred Taylor in Corgi Books. This book is not easy to obtain, and not easy to read. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
