Strangelovian Doorstop: Nevada Plans for a Nuclear Attack, 1958 This massive Cold War survival compendium presents the results of an in-depth analysis of Nevada's risks in the event of a major nuclear attack. The report was made in specific response to the reality that "Soviet Russia and its aggressor satellite nations are now in possession of an array of guided missiles, including the 'Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile." The thick volume, with its 48 folding maps, was clearly intended for state officials and not for the general public. Acknowledging and ennumerating Nevada's high value military targets at the time, "of tactical importance to a potential enemy of the United States," the planning staff attempted to create a "realistic operational survival plan for each of five target areas in the state." According to the foreword, the Nevada Operational Survival Plan "was written by the professional staff of the Nevada Survival Plan Project to fulfill the provisions of the Contract No. CD-SP-58-26 entered into on the 15th day of October 1957, between the Federal Civil Defense Administration.and Governor Charles H. Russell." The Nevada Operational Survival Plan opens with a mimeograph of cover letter addressed to Gov. Russell, from the project manager, A. E. Holgate. According to Holgate: The main purpose of the project was to provide for the survival of the greatest number of the people of the State of Nevada in the event of an emergency or a nuclear attack upon this nation by an aggressor power. our Staff members have visited the governing bodies of the seventeen counties and the city and towns of our state. Out of these contacts and studies of every local situation there has been prepared an Operational Survival Plan for the entire state. In addition thereto a similar plan has been prepared for each of the five target areas in the State, namely: Reno-Stead Air Force Base, Hoover Dam-Las Vegas-Nellis Air Force Base, the Hawthorne U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot, the U.S. Naval Auxiliary Air Station-Fallon and Carson City, the State capital.
