UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES OF THE COLD WAR: THE WORLD BELOW
Book ID/图书代码： 10567012B54979
English Summary/英文概要： Books on the history of fortifications are plentiful. Medieval castles, the defensive systems of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the trenches and bunkers of the First World War, the great citadels of the Second World War – all these have been described in depth. But the fortifications of the Cold War – the hidden forts of the nuclear age – have not been catalogued and studied in the same way. Paul Ozorak’s Underground Structures of the Cold War: The World Below fills the gap.
After the devastation caused by the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the outbreak of the Cold War, all over the world shelters were constructed deep underground for civilians, government leaders and the military. Wartime structures were taken over and adapted and thousands of men went to work drilling new tunnels and constructing bunkers of every possible size. At the height of the Cold War, in some countries an industry of bunker-makers profited from the public’s fear of annihilation.
Paul Ozorak describes when and where these bunkers were built, and records what has become of them. He explains how they would have been used if a nuclear war had broken out, and in the case of weapons bases, he shows how these weapons would
have been deployed. His account covers every sort of facility – public shelters, missile sites, command and communication centres, storage depots, hospitals.
A surprising amount of information has appeared in the media about these places since the end of the Cold War, and Paul Ozorak’s book takes full advantage of it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 关于防御工事历史的书籍有很多。中世纪的城堡，17、18、19世纪的防御系统，第一次世界大战的战壕和掩体，第二次世界大战的大城堡，所有这些都已经被深刻的描述过。但冷战时期的防御工事——核时代的隐藏堡垒——还没有被编写和以同样方式的研究。Paul Ozorak的《冷战时期的地下构造物：世界之下》补充了这个空缺。
自从落在广岛和长崎的原子弹爆炸性破坏和冷战爆发之后，世界上所有为市民、政府领导人和军队建立的避难所都在深深的地下。战时建筑物被接管和改造了，成千上万的人钻出新的隧道，建造各种可能大小的地堡。在冷战的高峰时期，一些国家的沙坑制造商因人们对于灭绝的恐惧而得益。
Paul Ozorak描述了这些掩体是在何时何地建造的，记录了它们遭遇了怎样的状况。他解释了核战争爆发时这些掩体怎么?
自从冷战结束后，关于地下城堡的信息大量出现在媒体上，Paul Ozorak的书充分了这些。(LNL)
