Bracing for Armageddon: Why Civil Defense Never Worked
Garrison, Dee (Professor of History and Women's Studies, Professor of History and Women's Studies, Rutgers University (Emeritus))
Presents a survey of the US government's civil defense plans from World War II. This book argues that the purpose of federal civil defense was to legitimize deterrence policy and the arms race through false assurances to the masses that they could survive nuclear war and to hide the astronomical expenses of programs to protect the political elite.
