Description

This Routledge book examines the history and challenges of civil defence policy in the United States, exploring why this critical area of national security has struggled to gain sustained political support and public confidence. The author traces America's continuous efforts to protect its citizens from military threats whilst revealing how rapidly advancing military technology has repeatedly undermined the credibility and effectiveness of successive civil defence programmes. Through detailed historical analysis, the work investigates the fundamental tensions between technological advancement and defensive strategy, demonstrating how public perception and political backing have shaped the trajectory of civil defence initiatives across decades. This scholarly examination provides essential context for understanding American security policy and the persistent gap between defence ambitions and practical implementation.
