PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Julie McDowall is a freelance journalist and book critic specialising in the nuclear threat. Her writing has appeared in The Times, Economist, Spectator, Guardian, TLS, Prospect and Independent, and she is also the host of the Atomic Hobo podcast in which she reveals findings in the nuclear archives and reports on her travels to nuclear bunkers and other Cold War sites.
A brilliant and unforgettable book ... A beautifully written horror story, and an amazing work of research, that is both thrilling and profoundly important in its depiction of the terrifying reality of a detonated nuclear bomb. Julie McDowall has made the unreadable compulsive and the unthinkable thinkable, but above all this is a book that cherishes humanity in all its absurdity, intelligence, vulnerability, courage and, against all odds, belief in hope and survival * Juliet Nicolson, author of Frostquake * Captivating, chilling, and at times darkly humorous. A fascinating insight into Britain's preparations for surviving Armageddon, and the ghastly reality of what the aftermath of a nuclear war would actually be like. Based on the Cold War, but with renewed urgency today * Lewis Dartnell, author of The Knowledge * Fascinating * Sir Lawrence Freedman, author of Command *
