For almost forty-five years following the end of the Second World
War, the world held its breath as the spectre of an even more
terrible and devastating conflict hung over it. Britain played a
significant role in what became known as the 'Cold War'. As a
senior member of NATO with its own independent nuclear deterrent,
the country was also a target for Soviet attack. Unlike the early
years of the previous world wars, the country was not faced with
the prospect of an enemy invasion; however, it was faced with the
probability of attack by nuclear armed missiles and bombs. Kent
played an important role during the Cold War as it was still the
home to many important military bases and installations. Following
the demise of the Soviet Union most of these installations fell out
of use and were abandoned and in some cases demolished or
redeveloped to make way for housing and industrial estates, whilst
others have been repurposed or restored as museums. This book seeks
to rediscover some of those sites and explain the purpose they
served.
