Description
The United Kingdom's nuclear war plans remain a fascinating and lesser-known chapter in its history. For nearly five decades, the government prepared for a potential attack, producing a range of materials to help citizens, civil servants, and armed forces prepare for the worst. These documents, including posters, booklets, and how-to guides, were designed to inform and instruct the public on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. The Protect and Survive campaign is well-known, but lesser-known materials prepared for the UK Warning and Monitoring Organisation and the Royal Observer Corps are also reproduced here for the first time. This book provides a unique insight into Britain's authorities' response to the Soviet nuclear threat, showcasing a range of terrifying images and sometimes amateurish survival guides.
