United States government booklet for use during nuclear war
Copy of Survival Under Atomic Attack issued by the Cleveland office of Civil Defense.
Survival Under Atomic Attack was the title of an official United States government booklet released in 1951 by the Executive Office of the President, the National Security Resources Board (document 130), and the Civil Defense Office. Released at the onset of the Cold War era, the pamphlet was in line with rising fears that the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear attack against the United States, and outlined what to do in the event of an atomic attack.[1]
The booklet introduced general public to the effects of nuclear weapons and was aimed at calming down the fears surrounding them.[2][3]Survival Under Atomic Attack was the first entry in a series of government publications and communications that employed the strategy of "emotion management" in order to neutralize the horrifying aspects of nuclear weapons.[3]
