If you are lucky enough to find it....
"The Journey of Jones" by Robert Sheckley
It has a brilliant premise. It is told from the perspective of a historian Centuries after a nuclear war that destroyed civilization and left Polynesian islanders untouched to inherit the ruins of the world.
The "history" puts down in writing for the first time tales of life in the western world told by 2 survivors of the great war that managed to make their way to Polynesian islands in its aftermath.
For Centuries the tales have been passed down via the oral tradition... as a result they have been mixed with other myths and stories and outright fabrication.
It was written in the 60's... and it shows.
