Protest and Survive
Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : Good. Protest and Survive (1980) by E. P. Thompson and Dan Smith Publisher: Penguin Books ISBN: 0140523413 Condition: Good Sold by: Crappy Old Books There was a time when the British government thoughtfully advised its citizens that, in the event of nuclear war, they might improve their chances of survival by hiding under a table, painting their windows white and constructing a makeshift shelter from doors, cushions and whatever else happened to be lying around the house. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons rather more destructive than the average domestic inconvenience, and the prospect of surviving Armageddon beneath a dining-room table struck some people as a trifle optimistic. Enter Protest and Survive , the gloriously defiant 1980 publication associated with historian E. P. Thompson and peace campaigner Dan Smith, whose title delivered a decidedly pointed response to the government?s reassuringly titled Protect and Survive . Where official advice concentrated on what to do after somebody had launched nuclear missiles, Thompson and his fellow campaigners suggested the rather more sensible policy of preventing the missiles from being launched in the first place. It was a radical proposition, particularly during the Cold War, when the superpowers were accumulating enough nuclear weaponry to destroy civilisation several times over, presumably in case the first destruction proved insufficient. Published at a moment of mounting international tension, Protest and Survive challenged the assumptions underpinning the nuclear arms race, questioned the political logic of deterrence and helped articulate the growing resistance to the deployment of new nuclear weapons across Europe. It belonged to an era of cruise missiles, NATO strategy, Soviet military power and the uncomfortable realisation that ordinary Europeans might find themselves living on the battlefield of somebody else?s ideological disagreement. E. P. Thompson, already distinguished as a major British historian and socialist intellectual, brought his formidable analytical powers to the subject. The result was not simply an expression of moral outrage but a challenge to the political and military calculations that had transformed the possibility of mass annihilation into an apparently respectable instrument of international diplomacy. There is something splendidly British about the whole business. Faced with the prospect of nuclear extinction, the establishment produced a practical household pamphlet, while its critics responded with another pamphlet explaining why nuclear extinction was perhaps not a desirable outcome in the first place. One can almost imagine the resulting debate taking place in a village hall, interrupted occasionally by complaints about the heating. More than four decades later, Protest and Survive remains a fascinating historical document, capturing the anxieties, arguments and extraordinary political atmosphere of the early 1980s. It also offers a reminder that public protest has sometimes involved rather more than waving placards: occasionally it has required confronting the fundamental assumptions of global military strategy. This 1980 Penguin edition is in Good condition and offered by Crappy Old Books , where we regard the continued existence of civilisation as broadly beneficial to the second-hand book trade. An absorbing piece of Cold War political history, and an excellent reminder that when confronted with the possibility of nuclear annihilation, rearranging the living-room furniture may not be the most effective response.

Original Wraps
Edition originale
Vendeur : Orlando Booksellers, Lincoln, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Original Wraps. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. A third printing of the true first edition - published as a paperback original in the Penguin Special series. Originally published in 1980, and reprinted again in 1980, and in this 1981 printing. ***A very good copy in illustrated card covers. The covers have some marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling. Edges of wrappers slightly rubbed and creased. No reading creases to the spine. No tears. Slight stain to the fore-edge of the page block, not affecting the interior pages. Internally also very good, with no inscriptions. Internal pages clean although the paper is lightly tanned. ***265 pages plus a six page publisher's catalogue at the rear. 180mm x 110mm. ***'Have cruise missiles increased the chances of nuclear war? 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 complete 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 "Protest and Survive", urges immediate and determined opposition.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***'"Protect and Survive" was a public information campaign on civil defence. Produced by the British government between 1974 and 1980, it intended to advise the public on how to protect themselves during a nuclear attack. The campaign comprised a pamphlet, newspaper advertisements, radio broadcasts, and public information films. The series had originally been intended for distribution only in the event of dire national emergency, but provoked such intense public interest that the pamphlet was published, in slightly amended form, in 1980. Due to its controversial subject, and the nature of its publication, the cultural impact of "Protect and Survive" was greater and longer-lasting than most public information campaigns. Organizations such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament protested that the pamphlet, by popularising the idea that a nuclear war could be survived, made such a war more likely. The protest organisations published and sold large numbers of copies of the pamphlet, considering that widespread reading of the pamphlet could only discredit the government's policy. Counter-pamphlets such as "Protest and Survive" by E P Thompson and "Civil Defence, whose Defence" by the Disarmament Information Group replied to the pamphlet's arguments.' (Wiki)***A third printing of the true first edition of this important book - a paperback original, published during the height of the Cold War. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur PB524
