This is obviously an ironic post, but the book was "Hatchet". There is one book from my childhood that I'm curious about. It was post apocalyptic, taking place after a nuclear war. Humanity had been reduced to a roughly neolithic stage of civilization with humans utilizing stone tools, being capable of a limited amount of metallurgy, and dwelling in primitive cities. Some how the protagonist happens upon a nuclear holocaust proof briefcase computer created by NASA to help rebuild modern civilization. At some point in the plot humanity comes into conflict with a race of mutant rat people, who conveniently live in the sewers beneath human settlements, and are eager on recovering the computer for themselves. There is an ensuing conflict, and at first the ratkin have the upper hand, but then the humans venture beneath the surface and napalm the ever living gently caress out the rat people dwellings with greek fire esque Molotov cocktails. In the end some rebel faction of the rat people take charge of their species, make peace with humanity, and agree to vacate human settlements as a result of their desire to progress without utilizing past human technology.
