To quote the book itself:\ "It seemed so ... solid. All the institutions, law enforcement and military. All the rules and systems that were in place. You’d think a modern society would be able to withstand challenges. But it all just crumbled when this thing got out of hand."

Just finished the series, what a ride! You've got nine books, each describing events that took place during one day. Really "Night of the Living Dead"esque. Action takes place at the beginning of the outbreak in Denmark. The setting makes it a quite different read from traditional US based apocalypse. There’s no widespread gun ownership in Europe, so you'll be following lots of close, in-your-face struggles, usually ending in bites.\ https://www.librarything.com/work/24097045

Despite being produced for BBC it was withdrawn from airing in 1965, after causing dismay with its depiction of violence and human suffering.

Triple-feature along with The Day After, Nicholas Meyer (1983) and Threads, Mick Jackson (1984).\ https://archive.org/details/TheWarGame_201405
