To address the threat of an atomic-armed Soviet Union during the
early days of the Cold War, President Truman approved the Alert
America educational exhibit. Promoted as "The Show That May Save
Your Life," Alert America became the most effective way to convey
the destructive power of the atomic bomb and to promote civil
defense. Following the exhibit's debut in the nation's capital, it
traveled in three separate convoys to more than eighty cities
considered most likely to be bombed, and garnered unprecedented
support from elected and civic officials, the media, the military,
private industry, and myriad organizations. This is the first book
to examine the scope and impact of Alert America, which has been
largely overlooked by historians. Also included are resource
materials providing insights into the government's overriding
objective of preparing men, women and children to survive an atomic
war.
