Description: Brighton, Book Guild Publishing. 2006, First. (ISBN: 1846240565). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy. 352 pages. Illustrated throughout. Alastair Cavendish Lindsay Mackie (1922-2018) was formerly an Air Commodore and H-bomber pilot, twice decorated in war and twice again in peace. He Left his RAF career early because he disagreed with British and NATO defence policy - in particular what he describes as 'Britain's idiotic nuclear so-called deterrent, of which I had been a part as a hydrogen bomb pilot'. His rejection of the nuclear policy led to him becoming vice-chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. On leaving the RAF he studied law and then became Under-Treasurer at the Middle Temple. His varied subsequent roles included Registrar of the Architects Registration Council, Director General of the Health Education Council and President of the International Union for Health Education. He was a Vice-President of CND. During his action-packed career he was able to expose the cynicism of the tobacco, food and drink industries and contribute some hard-hitting truths to health and welfare debates. A1C.
