"From nearly two hundred centres, and every week added to their
number, roared the unquenchable crimson conflagrations of the
atomic bombs. The flimsy fabric of the world's credit had vanished,
industry was completed disorganised, and every city, every thickly
populated area was starving or trembled on the verge of starvation.
Most of the capital cities of the world were burning; millions of
people had already perished, and over great areas government was at
an end." The Last War erupts in Europe, rapidly escalating from
bloody trench warfare and vicious aerial duels into a
world-consuming, atomic holocaust. Paris is engulfed by an atomic
maelstrom, Berlin is an ever-flaming crater, the cold waters of the
North Sea roar past Dutch dikes and sweep across the Low Countries.
Moscow, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and hundreds of other cities become
radioactive wastelands. Governments topple, age-old cultural
legacies are destroyed, and the stage is set for a new social and
political order."" "The Last War" is H. G. Wells's chilling and
prophetic tale of a world gone mad with atomic weapons and of the
rebirth of human-kind from the rubble. Written long before the
atomic age, Wells's novel is a riveting and intelligent history of
the future that discusses for the first time the horrors of the
atomic bomb, offering a startling vision of humanity purged by a
catastrophic atomic war.
