Summary:

"The aims of this book are threefold. First of all, it endeavours to present a comparative international perspective of the Shelter City phenomenon and an interpretation of the Dutch air raid protection measures. It then considers the physical and formal manifestation of Shelter City, for example through a historical reconstruction of it as realized in the Netherlands, including under the German occupying forces from 1942 to 1945. Finally, the book presents an analysis of Cold War thinking on defence against aerial threats"--Page 13.
