The book also suffers a bit from being so very firmly grounded in 1957.

One of the books I have read many times is called Alas, Babylon, which was written in the 50's about nuclear war. It is extremely dated (one of the characters questions the validity of blacks and whites eating at the same table together, a real Wild-west mentality, etc), but it still has some moments that ring true for me. I wouldn't be surprised if Stephen King had read it; The Stand has loads of similarities (SK's character is called Randall Flagg, the character in Alas Babylon is called Randall Bragg, to name but one).
