I was somewhat disappointed by this. Simak really hated war and abhorred the atom bomb. His condemnation of man was total and complete. Despite a few admirable traits he has mankind come to an ignoble end. Certainly different conclusion than the usual 1950s sci-fi. Rated B- [4 stars].
Next is another library loan
Earth Strike by Ian Douglas. This is a hard sci-fi which I generally don't care for. I prefer events occurring in real time and not having everyone wait 40 minutes for light to catch up.
