Over dit product

Product Information

After the Bomb is the first full-length archive-based study of successive British Government's plans to meet a nuclear attack on Britain. It examines the range of policies which were adopted to meet the shifting priorities of the state, and the strategic, political and economic contexts in which those policies and priorities were decided. It argues that civil defence must be seen a fundamental part of Britain's post-1945 history, and highlights the financial and administrative effort put into the policy, and its key role in allaying fears of nuclear attack, shaping ideas public about nuclear survival, and bolstering the credibility of the nuclear deterrent. It concludes that the role and nature of civil defence in cold war Britain can only be understood as a set of policies designed to meet a wide range of different priorities such as saving lives, protecting the economy, convincing people they could survive a nuclear attack and ensuring the survival of the British state which were themselves subject to a series of fast-changing developments in the international situation, domestic political context and fraught economic backdrop.

Reviews
"This book does an excellent job of showing the importance ascribed by several governments to the Cold war and planning for nuclear war." - Oxford Journals, Aug 2010 'Overall, Grant succeeds in placing the history of civil defence in its wider context by showing how the five factors he identifies interacted with each other. His book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the politics of Whitehall as well as to the history of defence policy.' - English Historical Journal
