Peter Bryan George (1924-1966) was an RAF
navigator who became obsessed with nuclear
war, and committed to disarmament. His first
novel, Red Alert, became the inspiration for
Stanley KubrickÕs film Dr. Strangelove or: How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,
for which George later wrote the novelisation. His
second novel, Commander-1, was a look at the
after-effects of a massive nuclear war, and he
was writing a third novel along the same lines,
Nuclear Survivors, when he committed suicide
at the age of 42.
