    What European country was the first to be bombed by Albania in the 1957 novel "On The Beach"?

    Interestingly enough, Shute describes a nuclear war that could take place today. World War III started with Albanian state-sponsored terrorists detonating a nuclear device in Naples. Then someone bombed Tel Aviv. The Egyptians dropped some on the U.S. with planes they purchased from the Russians. The U.S. didn’t realize Egyptians carried out the attack so the U.S. retaliated against the Russians. In the meantime, the Russians and the Chinese attacked each other. In the end about 4,000 nuclear bombs exploded in the Northern Hemisphere, but no nuclear bombs landed on the Southern Hemisphere.
