Time Held Hostage: Cold War Casualties and Other Atomic Age Stories

Shelter drills, discussions at school, media exposure, all served to embed the idea of threat to our very existence deep in conscious and subconscious thought. In this book the worldwide events that took place during the Cold War are explored through the lens of everyday life. The stories presented in Time Held Hostage, Cold War Casualties and Other Atomic Age Stories are reflections on the effect of a threat and anxiety experienced by a generation.
