This comprehensive 132 page full colour, perfect bound bookazine' has been written by Dan Sharp, with a forward by Christine Keeler, a person central to one of the most exciting decades in modern history. Fifty years ago the world teetered on the brink of nuclear holocaust. The pivotal year of the Cold War, 1963, saw Britain rocked by revelations about war minister John Profumo sharing a glamorous young mistress with a soviet spy. The nation's first nuclear submarine was launched and the Polaris missile system was bought from the Americans. The RAF was on standby to launch its V bombers at just four minutes' notice and English Electric Lightning jet fighters were Britain's first line of air defence.
