Civil defense literature appealed to Americans by emphasizing the importance of being prepared for potential threats such as nuclear war. It provided guidance on how individuals and communities could protect themselves and their loved ones in times of crisis, instilling a sense of control and empowerment in the face of uncertainty. It also reinforced the idea of civic duty and patriotism, encouraging citizens to contribute to the collective effort of national security.
