From the Paper:

"Julian Thompson's novel A Band of Angels vividly and accurately describes the sentiments and concerns nuclear holocaust affected our nation during the last decade of the Cold War, a forty-six-year conflict between two enemies who engaged in a political and military one-upmanship without losing the world in the process. But the Cold War "like any other war" had its heroes and victims. This is a character-driven novel that displays the individuals who will save the planet, and those who would destroy it over an outdated ideology that is fueled by fear and paranoia, all in the town and surrounding countryside of Northfield, VT."
