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.
