Camp Concentration is a 1968 science fiction novel by American author Thomas M. Disch.[1] After being serialized in New Worlds in 1967, it was published by Hart-Davis in the UK in 1968 and by Doubleday in the US in 1969. Translations have been published in Dutch, French,[2] German, Spanish, Italian,[3] Serbian[4] and Polish.[5]
The book is set during a war, projected from the Vietnam War, in which the United States is apparently criminally involved (it is noted at one point that the US is waging germ warfare in "the so-called neutral countries"). The President of the United States during this fictional war is Robert McNamara.
