About This Item
N.p. [New York?]: Carl C. Burns, 1961. Offset broadside, 11" x 8-1/2"; text printed in black on thin wove paper. Heavy stains verso, bleeding through to recto, conspicuous but not affecting legibility of text. Just Good. Dated at end of text, August 1961.
A resounding evangelical response to the threat of nuclear war, published a few months after the Bay of Pigs Invasion during the build-up of Soviet nuclear defenses in Cuba. The author, who signs himself "Carl C. Burns, B.D. and Front Line Soldier," promises that New York City "will be in flames," and asks, "not what but Who is your defense?" Burns cites several lines of scripture to make clear his message that only God may be counted on to protect citizens from the flaming hell of nuclear war. Not separately catalogued in OCLC. We note one other copy recorded in commerce (D. Anthem Bookseller, Dec. 2021), but can find no contemporary references to the author, whose hysteria no doubt spoke for millions.
