One Nation Underground: The Fallout Shelter in American Culture (American History and Culture)

One Nation Underground: The Fallout Shelter in American Culture (American History and Culture) One Nation Underground: The Fallout Shelter in American Culture (American History and Culture) For the half-century duration of the Cold War, the fallout shelter was a curiously American preoccupation. Triggered in 1961 by a hawkish speech by John F.
