Protest and Survive.

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 comp[lete 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 Protect and Survive urges immediate and determined oppostion. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
