Can anybody recommend 1950s Sci-fi novels in the vein of John Wyndham and Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers - contemporary earth-bound dystopia / subtle invasion type of thing,
NOT far future, space travel, alien worlds or lazer beam stuff.

@AndyPaciorekArt @bookstodon Footfall by Niven and Pournelle meets some of your criteria and is probably worth a look for you. It even addresses to an extent the “why would they invade?” question.

@janbartosik @bookstodon This is how it happened to show up on my screen… and if you have ever heard a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo screeching, you will know why it was totally believable to me that the title referred to the bird!
