Description
Cold War Building for Nuclear Confrontation 1946-1989 By Wayne Cocroft and Roger J. C. Thomas English Heritage, 2004, 2nd edition, 281 pages, paperback. This book explores the physical manifestations of the Cold War in England, including its buildings and structures. Heavily illustrated with photographs, archive images, and plans, it examines the installations within the military and political context of this defining phenomenon of the late 20th century. The book sheds light on these monuments to the Cold War, which are now disappearing fast, like medieval monasteries and bastioned forts before them. With a unique blend of historical and cultural analysis, it provides a fascinating insight into the legacy of the Cold War in England's built environment.
