This book may change your life. It may save it. It is one of the most important--and most shocking--books ever written. Tomorrow! is a story of average, nice Americans living in the neighboring cities of Green Prairie and River City in Middle America. It is--until the sudden blitz--the story of the girl next door and her boyfriend; of the accountant who saw what was coming, and the rich old lady who didn't; of engaging young kids, babies, "hoods," a bank official who "borrowed" from a customer's account. Then, at the height of the Christmas shopping season, Condition Red is sounded, and this down-to-earth story of America's Main Street becomes a shattering, vivid experience of the nightmare that human beings have cooked up for themselves. Tomorrow! can be read as a novel of pure suspense--if you dare. It is a thriller in which the apocalyptic technology of today is superimposed on the future. But the novel is also designed to show Philip Wylie's conclusions about America's dangerous vulnerability to dread, hysteria, and panic, as well as his recommendations about what must be done.

The book deals with the tale of 2 cities which are seperated by a river with one prepared for CD (civil defense), the other not. What happens before, during and after a atomic bomb attack. Remember, this was written in the late 1950's, so the words nuclear warfare wasn't being used at the time. The story tells what's happening to various people in the prepared city, so it's not just a case of being prepared, bombs dropped and dealing with it. This makes the story so much more interesting. Like the banker who falls into the hands of a loan shark due to gambing debts and pushing his strong willed daughter to marry a rich womans son and what happens afterwards. Alas Babylon was the first WW 3 book I read as a teenager and I believe this book ranks right next to it, it's that good.
