At the book launch for this addition to Agenda Publishing’s ‘Short Histories’ series, the author Martin Shaw said that the reason he couldn’t use the abbreviation ‘CND’ rather than ‘Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament’ in the title was that no one under the age of fifty knew what it stood for. But thankfully, at the event (which took place at the London School of Economics (LSE)), there were a number of students present. They mostly appeared to be under fifty, and were keenly taking notes.
