Report from Iron Mountain presents a provocative political satire that took the world by storm under the guise of a top-secret government report. Originally published in the late 1960s, this controversial work explores a startling question: What would happen to American society if lasting peace were achieved? Purporting to reveal the findings of a secret government commission, the report examines the potential consequences of permanent peace for the nation's economic, social, and political stability. Its disturbing conclusions suggest that war may serve purposes far beyond defending national interests, that a lasting peace could prove difficultor even undesirableto maintain, and that the economic and social structures of modern society may be deeply intertwined with the continued existence of war. Among its most unsettling claims is the suggestion that war casualties themselves could become matters of planning and budgeting. For years, journalists, scholars, and readers debated the authenticity of the document and the implications of its claims. The truth eventually emerged: rather than being a genuine classified government report, Report from Iron Mountain was a work of fiction written by Leonard C. Lewin, whose ingenious and provocative predictions challenged conventional thinking about war, peace, and political leadership. This edition tells the story behind the report's creation, its origins, and the controversy surrounding its publication. It also presents the complete text of the purported commission report, allowing readers to examine its arguments and draw their own conclusions about the relationship between war, peace, and the institutions of modern society.©1967 Leonard C.
