Nukes are nasty and governments are anxious to ensure that nuclear wars are "limited" to a "theatre". Cruise missiles deployed in the UK are seen by the British government as preserving our ancient independence in the face of the "monstrous" Russian threat. In this book E. P. Thompson and his colleagues challenge the grounds of this assumption and show that use of the owner-controlled missiles by the US in a "limited" war will mean the complete destruction of the "theatre", of Western Europe and of Great Britain in particular. This book examines the politics of what is being done and, in the face of the British government's extraordinary pamphlet "Protest and Survive", urges immediate and determined opposition.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***'"Protect and Survive" was a public information campaign on civil defence. Produced by the British government between 1974 and 1980, it intended to advise the public on how to protect themselves during a nuclear attack. The campaign comprised a pamphlet, newspaper advertisements, radio broadcasts, and public information films. The series had originally been intended for distribution only in the event of dire national emergency, but provoked such intense public interest that the pamphlet was published, in slightly amended form, in 1980. Due to its controversial subject, and the nature of its publication, the cultural impact of "Protect and Survive" was greater and longer-lasting than most public information campaigns. Organizations such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament protested that the pamphlet, by popularising the idea that a nuclear war could be survived, made such a war more likely. The protest organisations published and sold large numbers of copies of the pamphlet, considering that widespread reading of the pamphlet could only discredit the government's policy. Counter-pamphlets such as "Protest and Survive" by E P Thompson and "Civil Defence, whose Defence" by the Disarmament Information Group replied to the pamphlet's arguments.'
