Level 7 by Mordecai Roshwald, unknown edition, A chillingly calm first person account of Armageddon, from the point of view of a low-level military functionary. (Uncredited cover for the edition) /5 (Very Good) I recently received a copy of Modecai Roshwald's Level 7 () from 2thD at Potpourri of Science Fiction Literature (his enthusiastic review of the novel here). Roshwald's novel should be considered along with Walter Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz (, published ) as one the best.

Level 7 is the story of an atomic war, and of the post-apocalyptic world briefly succeeding it. Written at the start of the race for nuclear domination, in plain Cold War's mids, Mordecai Roshwald 's book was aimed to be a deterrent to atomic weapons and related politics. Overall, a frightening book that reads poorly; had it not been for the topic, a solid 1-star.
