Description
Cold War Kent explores Britain's significant role in the 'Cold War' era. Following World War II, the country faced a new threat from nuclear-armed missiles and bombs, rather than an enemy invasion. As a senior NATO member with its own independent nuclear deterrent, Britain was also at risk of attack. Kent played a crucial part during this period due to its home to many important military bases and installations. Although the Soviet Union's collapse led to the decommissioning of most of these sites, some have been repurposed or restored as museums. This book aims to uncover the history behind these sites and their original purpose. By examining Kent's role in the Cold War, this book sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of British history during this pivotal time period.
