From the depths of the Cold War, an anthology of stories of what happens after a 'Megawar', generally nuclear, and of varying degrees.
Miller is pretty pessimistic in outlook in this, not surprising at the time this was published when you had idiot presidents making stupid jokes, etc.
Even going so far as saying, hope everyone gets nukes, might actually encourage major power disarmament.
There's an intro by the editor to each story, talking about the particular type of scenario that is going on.
A pretty good book, with a 3.60 story average.

"To make a long story short and sweet, I gave the network the royal screw. I signed the Horsemen to a contract that made me their manager and gave me twenty percent of their take. Then I booked them into the American Dream at ten thousand a week, wrote a check as proprietor of the American Dream, handed the check to myself as manager of the Four Horsemen, then resigned as a network flunky, leaving them with a $10,000 bag and me with 20% of the hottest group since the Beatles.
What the hell, he who lives by the fine print shall perish by the fine print."
