Defender of the Realm: The Untold Story of the RAF in the Cold War
From the end of World War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United Kingdom stood on the front lines of the Cold War. The Royal Air Force (RAF) played a vital role in defending the realm against the threat of nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.
In Defender of the Realm, historian James Holland tells the untold story of the RAF's role in the Cold War. Holland draws on interviews with veterans, declassified documents, and firsthand accounts to provide a comprehensive and gripping account of the RAF's role in some of the most dangerous and tense moments of the Cold War.

From the Berlin Airlift to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the RAF was at the forefront of the Western response to Soviet aggression. The book follows the RAF's pilots, navigators, and ground crew as they prepared for and carried out a wide range of missions, including nuclear deterrence, air defense, and reconnaissance.
Holland also explores the RAF's role in the development of new technologies, such as the jet engine and the nuclear bomb. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the secret world of the RAF's intelligence and electronic warfare operations.
Defender of the Realm is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Cold War and the role of the RAF in defending the United Kingdom. It is a gripping and informative account of a little-known but important chapter in British history.
