Description

The Official History of the UK Strategic Nuclear Deterrent: Volume I provides a comprehensive examination of British strategic nuclear policy from 1945 to 1964, written with full access to classified UK government records. This authoritative account explores how post-war British governments developed and maintained an independent, nationally controlled nuclear capability whilst navigating Cold War tensions and internal policy debates. The volume analyses the strategic, political and diplomatic considerations that shaped Britain's nuclear deterrence doctrine during the critical V-Bomber era through to the arrival of Polaris. Essential reading for historians, policy analysts and anyone seeking detailed insight into the formative decades of Britain's nuclear defence strategy and the complex governmental decisions that defined this transformative period in modern British history.
