Britain has a rich Cold War heritage and here its significant historical and cultural aspects are explored. Adopting a chronological approach, key events, technologies and social impacts are detailed through the many sites, collections and artefacts that are accessible 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 Facility at RAF Barnham, where local people believed monkeys were being prepared for space travel and beyond. They also consider civil and military defence, 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.
Dr Peter Robinson has been a regular visitor to Elvaston since he was four years old. He is an academic, tourism industry expert, photographer, author of several books, and ECGT Chair of Trustees.
