In Survival City: Adventures among the Ruins of Atomic America Author Tom Vanderbilt talks about the desert becoming “modern functional” on page 24 paragraph 2. How has the desert become “modern functional” in the context of this article? What are some other examples of areas being developed in unfamiliar ways due to the Cold War?
The Cold War revolutionized the purpose and tactics of war. With nuclear weapons in play nations had the ability to cripple other nations in a permanent manner. What regions in the United States would be primary targets in the attempt to cripple America permanently? The United States had to prepare for a nuclear attack. What were some plans the U.S. undertook in an attempt to save the western way of life?
The Cold War was the worst war that was never fought. In terms of the development of bomb shelters how does this statement apply to the American people's morals. In terms of war obviously the worst to come out of this was a surplus of nuclear weapons. How could this actually play a role in keeping peace throughout the world in the present day and in the future?
