New book on British Nuclear Culture
We are pleased to announce the publication of British Nuclear Culture: Official and unofficial narratives in the long 20th-century, by Dr Jonathan Hogg. Published by Bloomsbury Academic, the book argues that nuclear culture was a pervasive and persistent aspect of British life, particularly in the years following 1945.
British Nuclear Culture offers a new interpretation of the nuclear century by tracing the tensions between official and unofficial nuclear narratives in British culture. This idea is illustrated through detailed analysis of various primary source materials, such as newspaper articles, government files, fictional texts, film, music and oral testimonies. The book introduces unfamiliar sources to students of nuclear and cold war history, and offers in-depth and critical reflections on the expanding historiography in this area of research.
