Round Table
First paragraph: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is having profound repercussions in Britain, not least on our cultural and intellectual life. However, although the media has presented this unfolding crisis in exhaustive detail, no one could reasonably argue that there has been much depth to the general treatment. From the outset, media coverage has been superficial and woefully lacking in objectivity, with briefings by President Zelensky and oth…
The Korean War in Britain
The central theme running through Grace Huxford’s important book is the complexity of how the Korean War, and more generally the wider Cold War conflict, is remembered. Not for nothing does the subtitle tell the reader the book is about forgetting, rather than remembering. Whereas the two World Wars dominate memory, the Cold War struggles to maintain its place within popular culture. This was vividly illustrated by the 2014 decision to move the L…
Making sense of nuclear war
In interviews with members of Britain’s Civil Defence Services, experiences of Cold War voluntarism are recalled in different ways. Some remembered their desire to help defend their nation and local community. Others remembered making a leisure choice that had little connection to the potential nuclear war the organization was ostensibly preparing for. No one provided a well-developed account of civil defence’s ability to provide a defence agains…

Historicizing Citizenship in Post-War Britain
Citizenship has been widely debated in post-war British history, yet historians discuss the concept in very different, and potentially contradictory, ways. In doing so, historians are largely following in the footsteps of post-war politicians, thinkers, and ordinary people, who showed that citizenship could – and did – mean very different things. The alternative ways of framing the concept can be usefully described as the three registers of citiz…

Civil Defence Gives Meaning to Your Leisure
In the early cold war the British government founded a voluntary civil defence service designed to protect the nation and the population from the effects of enemy attack in the event of war.Although civil defence was a site of massive voluntary effort -around 500,000 people joinedit was also considered a 'failure'.This article examines the propaganda utilised to recruit these volunteers in the 'atomic age', and argues that the messages used revea…
Home Defence and the Sandys Defence White Paper, 1957
Long understood as the key document in Britain's Cold War history, the Duncan Sandys Defence White Paper of 1957 nevertheless has a largely forgotten context: home defence. This article argues that understanding this context allows important new conclusions to be drawn concerning the drafting, presentation and the reception of the document and the deterrent strategy it expounded. It argues that the Paper failed to establish a new doctrine for civ…

Historians, the Penguin Specials and the ‘State-of-the-Nation’ Literature, 1958-64
In the late 1950s and early 1960s a spate of books, journals and articles began a debate about ‘the state of the nation’. Central to these works were the books in the Penguin Specials series, notably Michael Shanks’ The Stagnant Society (1961). This article examines the arguments of many of these works and how historians have used them in work on the period, in terms of the cultural climate of the time, the record of the Macmillan and Douglas-Hom…
