Ellis, C. D.

Scope and content

Ellis takes issue with Philip Noel-Baker's assertion that virtually the whole population of Britain would be wiped out by a nuclear attack and therefore planning civil defence is a waste of time. Ellis discusses the likely casualty figures and precautions which can be taken to avoid casualties from fall-out.
