Cyril Pustan lived an extraordinary life. He was born into an Orthodox Jewish household in London in 1929 where his father was a refugee from the pogroms in Ukraine, and his mother a London born daughter of refugees from earlier pogroms in Germany and Russia. He wrote about the blitz and evacuation. He paints a vivid picture of life during and after World War II and the deficiencies in the education system. He left school at 14 with no qualifications and became a plumber. He became politically active at 16 in the Communist Party and Trade Union movement. He participated in iconic peace events and marches of the 1950's and 1960's including the 1961 San Francisco to Moscow March for Peace where he was arrested, deported, and was present at the building of the Berlin Wall. He had tea with Mrs Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War. He married the mother of the World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer, Regina Fischer, and was one of the few British citizens who emigrated to live behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany in 1962. He may have fallen under suspicion as a spy on both sides. He found work as a master welder but was recruited to teach at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena to scientists and doctors to help them better understand English. He developed a technique to teach English through the use of Folk Songs. He wrote a book, produced and sang on a record, recorded stories for the visually impaired, acted in a film, and was portrayed in the 2014 film about Bobby Fischer, "Pawn Sacrifice", by Shawn Campbell. His life and death were shrouded in mystery for over 40 years until his papers and personal effects were found in a box in the loft following the death of his sister Ella in March 2021. This biography has been collated by interspersing his writings with accounts of others about him, and placing it in the context of the world in which the events he participated in took place. He was not a bystander, but an activist who went against conventional wisdom and lived by his values. This is the story of How Uncle Cyril Saved the World.

These observations are based upon the premise that, with war having been a constant feature of humankind's evolution, a nation's security and prosperity are inextricably linked with its military strength. To illustrate the point, the author compares the revered historical cities of Venice and Aleppo. Of the two, Venice benefited from having the most advanced military capacity of mediaeval times and thus enjoyed prolonged stability while Aleppo constantly suffered at the hands of more powerful enemies. Japan more closely resembles the latter. In the postwar era, it is the states equipped with nuclear weapons that have dictated the balance of power. Indeed, the four countries of most significance to Japan's present security are its ally the United States and the hostile or potentially hostile China, Russia and North Korea - all of them nuclear-armed. As the ultimately fruitless meetings between North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and former US President Donald Trump illustrate, North Korea has absolutely no intention of giving up its nuclear and other advanced armaments. But even if it were to do so, the more menacing threat to Japan comes from China. With its militarisation of the South China Sea, its aggressive intentions towards Taiwan, its provocative behaviour around the Senkaku (Diaoyu) islands, its relentless military expansion and its determination to replace America as the regional hegemon, China represents an undoubtedly grave danger to Japan. The author proposes a two-pronged strategy. Firstly, Japan should construct a network of nuclear shelters sufficient in scale and number to protect its people - particularly in the populous urban areas that would probably be targeted by the enemy. Secondly, Japan should join NATO and avail itself of the protection afforded by American nuclear warheads and bombs while preparing itself for war. However, if joining NATO turned out to be unfeasible, Japan should instead divert the resources currently allocated to maintaining the US military presence in the country to developing its own atomic warheads and bombs as well as submarines equipped with nuclear missiles. Despite the received wisdom that Japan is forbidden by its constitution from having nuclear weapons, the author points out that the issue has been raised by various administrations in the past going as far back as that of Prime Minister Kishi Nobosuke in 1957. Moreover, the frequent port calls by US submarines and aircraft carriers laden with atomic weapons make a mockery of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles that Japan supposedly observes. With the US-Japan Security Alliance offering absolutely no guarantee of protection, the author sees no impediment to Japan abrogating it and embarking on its own nuclear weapons programme. In the postwar period, a number of countries have succeeded in developing such weapons and it is perfectly possible for Japan to do likewise. In conclusion, the author foresees a situation in which China succeeds in subjugating Taiwan and America is forced by financial constraints to reduce its military presence in the Far East. The only country able to make up the shortfall would be Japan - which, by acquiring nuclear weapons, would be able to maintain the balance of security in East Asia. By the same token, it would be able to ensure its own survival.
