A Soviet strike - possibly a nuclear strike - was on its way, bringing with it the certainty of destruction on an unparalleled scale. For most, even the best 'Protect and Survive' precautions would be significantly insufficient. The knowledge that a retaliatory strike was set to wreak similar devastation on our adversary was surely little comfort.
