"This defeatist attitude was born as the disarmament movement ridiculed any alternatives to their agenda. The sound Civil Defense strategies of the '60s have been derided as being largely ineffective, or at worst a cruel joke. With the supposed end of the Cold War in the '80s, most Americans neither saw a need to prepare, nor believed that preparation would do any good."




I have a small collection of civil defense literature.

The 1960 material is written as from one adult to another, it is direct, efficient, and effective.

The 1980 material is simple, non informative gibberish that talks down to the reader and gives almost no practical information.

can you scan the 1960's material to .doc or .pdf?

I have an old army medical nuclear injury triage manual. That is the real deal. Basically, if you get sick quickly or immediately you are a goner. If you slowly get sick over three days you will recover.

Wow! I collect CD material as well. Care to share, swap or trade?
