Phillip Wylie Wrote two novels about nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
I don't know the exact time frame for either of them but the titles 
were "Tomorrow", which was a comparison of two midwest cities' survival
capabilities. One had a good civil defense plan and the other one had none.

The other title is "Triumph". A story of one very rich man and his multi-
million dollar shelter.
