Recenzii

“Provide a full accountof the debates within the British government about an earlier modernizationthat resulted in the deployment of US ground-launched cruise missiles to theUnited Kingdom and elsewhere in Western Europe in the 1980s. … provide newinsights into our understanding of the UK’s nuclear history and should be readby those interested in this subject area, in the US–UK relationship, andBritish defence policy more generally and by those analysing why states retainnuclear capabilities.” (Andrew Dorman, International Affairs, Vol. 91 (6), 2015)
'The third volume in Kristan Stoddart's monumental history of British nuclear deterrent policy takes the reader from 1976 to 1983, a key period in the story when nuclear policy became an important domestic political issue. As usual, he handles his wide rangeof sources with consummate skill and insight.' - Professor Eric Grove, Liverpool Hope University, UK
