Red Alert

by Peter Bryant

Red Alert is the gripping Cold War thriller that inspired Dr. Strangelove, presenting a terrifyingly realistic scenario where a single miscalculation could trigger nuclear armageddon. Peter Bryant’s novel follows a rogue U.S. Air Force general who initiates an unauthorized nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, forcing world leaders into a desperate race against time. Without Kubrick’s satirical lens, this book delivers raw, high-stakes tension, offering a stark warning about the dangers of unchecked military power. If Dr. Strangelove made you laugh, Red Alert will make you sweat. Because history doesn’t repeat, but it sure loves a remix.
