STRANGELOVE falls the perplexing, ingenious, and ceaselessly curious REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN. Upon its first appearance in 1967, this best-selling \"secret government report\" sparked immediate debate among journalists and scholars with its disturbingly convincing claim: a condition of \"permanent peace\" at the end of the Cold War would threaten our nation's economic and social stability. Although finally identified as an antimilitarist hoax by writer\/editor Leonard Lewin, who conceived and launched the book with a consortium of peace movement intellectuals including future NATION editors Victor Navasky and Richard Lingerman, novelist E.L. Doctorow, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, IRON MOUNTAIN would eventually take on a life of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpon its first appearance in 1967, this best-selling \"secret government report\" sparked immediate debate among journalists and scholars with its disturbingly convincing claim: a condition of \"permanent peace\" at the end of the Cold War would threaten our nation's economic and social stability.

L. Doctorow, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, Iron Mountain would eventually take on a life of its own. Long out of print, the Report suddenly reappeared in \"bootleg\" editions more than twenty years after the original publication. In a manner never foreseen by the book's creators, it was now being read as a \"bible\" by the militias of the radical right - a bizarre reversal that returns this haunting satire to the spotlight and raises uncomfortable questions about the changing nature of today's political culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonard C.
