    Days of March by John Brunner

    The travails of a campaign for nuclear disarmament... although
    not _the_ Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

    James, you said it was published in 1988; any chance it was actually
    written much earlier (to match your notions of its tone)? Anything
    that dates the writing as later than the 70s?

    Perhaps written earlier, but publishing reconsidered due to some of
    Brunner's friends being too identifiable.

    [head smack]

    Jad Smith's John Brunner, _which I have read_, explains that
    Brunner wrote the novel in the early 1960s. Various unfortunate
    events prevented publication until 1988.
