Protect And Survive
The Civil Defence Manual. The end of the Second World War heralded the start of a new war - the Cold War. New and chilling phrases entered the vocabulary - mutually assured destruction, nuclear proliferation, hydrogen bomb, airburst and fallout. The UK Government, like that of many other nations, considered the effects on the population at large. Manuals were issued to those in the know and the civilian populace became used to adverts telling them how to convert their houses into shelters, what to do with dead bodies, how to counteract radiation sickness etc. This book brings together for the first time the Government's own pamphlets.
