Red alert
Book • 1958
Written by Peter George under the pseudonym Peter Bryant, 'Red Alert' is a gripping thriller that explores the scenario of a nuclear war started by a deranged USAF officer.
The novel delves into the internal control procedures within the US military hierarchy and the psychological aspects of decision-making in high-stress situations.
It was the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's film 'Dr.
Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb', although the film diverged significantly from the novel's serious and earnest tone.
