Red Alert (novel)
''Red Alert'' is a 1958 novel by Peter George about nuclear war. The book was the underlying inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film '' Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb''. Kubrick's film differs significantly from the novel in that the film is a black comedy. Originally published in the UK as ''Two Hours to Doom'', with George using the pseudonym "Peter Bryant" (Bryan Peters for the French translation, ''120 minutes pour sauver le monde''), the novel deals with the apocalyptic threat of nuclear war and the almost absurd ease with which it can be triggered. A genre of such topical fiction, of which ''Red Alert'' was among the earliest examples that sprung up in the late 1950s, led by Nevil Shute's '' On the Beach''. Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler's later best-seller, ''Fail-Safe'', so closely resembled ''Red Alert'' in its premise that George sued on the charge of copyright infringement, resulting in an out-of-court settlement.
