Daniel Cordle's Late Cold War Literature and Culture: The Nuclear 1980s works to examine the underlying social, political, economic and cultural anxieties during the Cold War era. ... The Nuclear 1980s is a helpful introduction to nuclear literature and culture. ... Cordle's book shows how complex anxieties pervade through different aspects of life in the late Cold War era, and successfully captures the intriguing nuances of the nuclear age. (Carl White, The British Society for Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, August, 2017)
