The awesome power of the blast and its deadly fallout meant that every town, village and home in Britain fell under the nuclear shadow, and the threat of annihilation coloured every aspect of ordinary life for the next forty years. Families were encouraged to construct makeshift shelters with cardboard, plastic sheets and sandbags. Vicars and pub landlords learnt how to sound hand-wound sirens, offering four minutes to scramble to safety. Hospitals braced themselves and thousands volunteered to give nuclear first aid, often consisting of breakfast tea, herbal remes, and advice on how to die without contaminating others. And while the public had to look after themselves, bunkers were readied for the officials and experts who would life continued after the catastrophe. Today we may read about the Cold War and life in Britain under the shadow of the mushroom cloud - its Dad's Army amateurism and futile measures for a war that was not survivable - with a sense of amusement and relief that the apocalypse did not happen. But it is also a timely and powerful reminder that, so long as nuclear s exist, the nuclear threat will always be with us. 'Impossible to believe, just as hard to put down. Urgent. Terrifying' Dan Snow, host of History Hit Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
