Aldermaston Marches Podcast

Author Stuart Evers discusses his short story based on The Aldermaston Marches of the late 1950s and early 60s, which were anti-nuclear weapons demonstrations, involving thousands of activists walking from the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment in Aldermaston (in Berkshire) to London (just over 52 miles); a movement which has had a global impact, particular the 1960 protest against the use of the H-bomb and was integral in the early days of the CND. He is joined by Michael Randle, prominent peace activist and academic and a member of the committee that organised the first Aldermaston march, and Mai Chatham, life-long CND member who took part in the marches and is still active in CND today.
