520 1 $a"Covering the years 1940 to 1962, Krugler uses Washington's often conflicting identities - capital, city, and symbol - to explore the connections between its varied preparations for nuclear war, including the attempted dispersal of vital government offices to distant surburban sites, the District's Office of Civil Defense, and the creation of the secretive Federal Relocation Act. This Is Only a Test provides an account of government planning and reveals how the Cold War directly affected Washington and its racially divided population."--BOOK JACKET.
