Description
A black postcard with a picture of a cruise missile being snapped in half by a peace sign, designed by Peter Kennard. The back of the postcard is captioned 'Protest and survive!" and has a paragraph of explanation about Cruise missiles: "The planned introduction of Cruise missiles and replacement of Polaris by Trident submarines has been accustomed by official propaganda designed to show that Nuclear War is both inevitable and survivable. It is neither."
This is a postcard originally produced in Leeds.
