Description

Explore the foundational years of British nuclear policy with Volume I of The Official History of the UK Strategic Nuclear Deterrent. This volume provides an authoritative examination of the British government's strategic nuclear policy from 1945 to 1964. Published by Routledge as part of the Government Official History Series, this work offers a deep look into how successive governments worked to build and maintain an independent, nationally controlled strategic nuclear capability. Written with full access to the UK documentary record, the text tracks the evolution of British ideas about deterrence during the Cold War. It examines the strategic, political, and diplomatic consequences of these decisions, covering the era from the V-Bomber period to the arrival of Polaris. This is an essential resource for readers interested in 20th-century British history, Cold War politics, and the development of national defense strategies.
