Books
At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Britain was America's first-line defence, a vulnerable, but unsinkable 'aircraft carrier' on which the United States based elements of their nuclear deterrent. But the British public was unaware that, as tensions rose thousands of miles away, the UK itself was under imminent threat of armageddon.
