The effect of the latest weapons and their increasing availability around the world has been to destabilize the so-called "balance of terror". A nuclear world war within the next ten years is increasingly possible. In such a war, survival within Europe would be unlikely. Current British defence policy promises neither deterrence nor survival. It can only guarantee our extinction. As the people of Western Europe have become more acutely anxious about the continuing arms escalation and the politics of confrontation, it has become clear that the government, itself misled, is misleading us. "As Lambs to the Slaughter" produced by members of the School of Peace Studies at Bradford University, deals with the entire defence issue in terms that are clear, factual and up-to-date, and contains much information not previously published in Britain. "As Lambs to the Slaughter" gives you the facts. If you wish to directly influence our survival, reading it is the first step.'
