 It seems extremely likely that from pressure inside and outside Parliament, "Protect and Survive" was then published by the Government in May 1980.There is little to suggest that the Government ever intended the pamphlet to be made available for general sale had it not attracted this much attention.Organizations such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament protested that the pamphlet, by popularising the idea that a nuclear war could be survived, made such a war more likely.
