- This monograph is the result of a sustained and complex investigation into the impact of ideas of resilience on the evolution of emergency governance in the UK. It combines contemporary political analysis with an interrogation of hundreds of historical documents. Zebrowski spent over a year analysing hitherto neglected sources held in the National Archives at Kew. These newly declassified documents include records of the responsibilities of ministers in the event of nuclear war. Using and interpreting this data, plus documents unearthed from WWI Cabinet records, he has produced the first account of the practice and procedures of emergency response.
