More

This Greenpeace poster calls for the end to President Ronald Reagan’s push to increase spending on America’s nuclear defence in the 1980s. Activists feared the devastating impacts that nuclear war would have on the environment. Walt Patterson was one of the UK’s leading campaigners for energy and environmentalism and collected his own archive of antinuclear materials.
