Documents

October 1982	Vote Against the Bomb This leaflet was prepared by the CND chapter in Peckham, London, for the by-election held on 28 October 1982. The by-election was won by the CND's favoured candidate, Labour's Harriet Harman, who was elected to the House of Commons for the first time
December 20, 1982	Letter from Christine Kings, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, containing Peace Canvas materials This information pack was sent out to CND members across the UK and encouraged them to canvas households to ascertain levels of support for nuclear weapons across the country. The last two pages include the results of this peace canvas.
April 1983	CND [Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament] and the General Election This paper, written by Jon Bloomfield for the CND National Council in April 1983, discussing CND strategy for the general election. He states that 'our intention should be to make peace the number 1 issue in the General Election'.
February 5, 1983	CND [Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament] and Early General Election - Immediate, Non-Sectarian Demands This paper, prepared for the CND Council in April 1983 by Ian Davison, Secretary of Scottish CND, sets out the possible outcomes of the election and the implications for Cruise and Trident. Davison concludes that 'only a Conservative victory brings us no gain'.
April 4, 1983	General Election Policy for [Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament] National Council, 16/17 April 1983 This document, written by James Hinton, an historian at the University of Warwick and an active member of CND, outlines which candidates CND should consider supporting in the June 1983 general election.
April 1983	Cruise: Your Questions Answered This information leaflet was produced by the Ministry of Defence in April 1983, leading up to the June 1983 general election. The publication explains the Government's position and why the deployment of Cruise missiles is in the UK's interest. While the pamphlet engaged with arguments advanced by peace organisations, no specific groups are named.
Date unknown	These British Never Learn Do They, Adolf? This Coalition for Peace through Security poster likens the British peace movement of the early 1980s to pacifist groups in the 1930s and to the policy of appeasement. The poster depicts Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet leader until his death in November 1982, addressing Hitler, thereby associating the Soviets with the threat posed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Date unknown	If the Russians Will Shoot Down an Unarmed Plane They Will Bomb an Unarmed Britain This poster produced by Youth for Multilateral Disarmament refers to the downing of civilian passenger flight KAL 007 on 1 September 1983 by the Soviet Union. The poster argues that by getting rid of its nuclear weapons, the UK would make itself more vulnerable to a Soviet attack, not less as suggested by peace groups.
Date unknown	Who's Behind the So-Called 'Peace Movements'? This poster produced by Youth for Multilateral Disarmament depicts Stalin holding a mask, suggesting that the UK peace movement is simply a Communist or Soviet front in an attempt to discredit peace organisations.
1983	30 Questions and Honest Answers about CND [Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament] Pamphlet produced by the Coalition for Peace through Security, using the same format and questions as a Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament pamphlet but with a very similar title but providing markedly different answers.
