Description

Explore a detailed historical account of the United Kingdom's struggle to balance national defense with international diplomacy. This book examines the period between 1974 and 1982, focusing on how the UK attempted to modernize its strategic and tactical nuclear weapons while simultaneously pursuing a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty. Readers will learn about the complex challenges faced by policymakers as they navigated the tension between maintaining a reliable nuclear deterrent and securing a global agreement to prohibit nuclear testing indefinitely. The text examines how a potential ban treaty could impact the safety and reliability of existing weapons systems. Additionally, it looks at the complications caused by how such a treaty might limit the ability of the UK to test and develop new warhead designs. This work provides a deep look into the Cold War era and the difficult decisions surrounding arms control and military readiness.
