Good luck finding that.
If you do find some, whoever wrote that deserves to be tied to one when it gets dropped.

Eistenhower's Second inaugural address, ;the price of peace'
Just observe the menancing undertone of the speech,
"Spendid as can be the blessings of such a peace, high will be it's cost: in toil patiently sustained, in help honorably given, in sacrifice calmly borne"

"After the bomb resources and ideas 2010
I've noticed that there is a fair few of us doing After the Bomb and there are very few resources available, and a lot of 'I'm so lost' threads around. Let's collate ideas and resources in one place. You post resources/ideas, and I'll add them to this post.
First up: Paradigms
Social/Cultural:Feminism
Political:Communism vs. Capitalism, Cold War, Detente period
Philosophical:Existential thought
Religious:
I have purposely not included 'personal' as a category here because personal isn't a category in itself, it's the response of composers to these paradigms, and what we're studying.
Resources:
Success in After the Bomb- textbook by Five Senses Education. Not up on the website yet- enquire at a store.
