Summary:

In recent years full details have gradually begun to emerge about U.S. and British preparations for defense against nuclear attack during the cold war. It was believed that both the civilian and military command could continue to operate from a nationwide series of underground bunkers. These bunkers were actually built at enormous expense.

A vast network of radar stations stretching across northern England, Canada and Alaska were co-ordinated from an underground complex under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. Underground bunkers were built throughout the UK and the U.S. congress planned to weather the storm at the Green Briar country club.

McCamley's revelations are intriguing in their own right and also have some disturbing broader implications.
