The UK has a rich legacy from the Cold War and here its significant historical and cultural aspects are explored. In a chronological approach, key events, technologies and social impacts are detailed through the many sites, collections and artifacts open to the public. Peter Robinson and Milka Ivanova take readers on a journey of discovery, from the secret bunker at Kelvedon Hatch to the nuclear missile storage site at RAF Barnham, where local people believed that apes were being prepared for space travel and beyond. They also look at civil and military defense, the CND movement and the Cold War in popular culture, and conclude with a list of fifty Cold War sites that can be visited today.
