The British Way in Cold Warfare: Intelligence, Diplomacy and the Bomb 1945-1975 de Dr Matthew Grant

The British Way in Cold Warfare: Intelligence, Diplomacy and the Bomb 1945-1975

Editat de Dr Matthew Grant
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2011
By utilising the latest research, readers will be given a complete picture of the way Britain fought the Cold War, moving the focus away from the now familiar crises of Suez and Cuba and onto the themes that underpinned the British war strategy.
Intelligence, civil defence and nuclear diplomacy are all examined within the context of modern British history at a time of national decline. There is a growing interest in the contexts of the Cold War and this collection will establish itself as the leading volume on the UK's wartime strategy.

Recenzii

"Grant presents 10 articles exploring the history of British statecraft during the Cold War. Contributors first discuss issues of nuclear weapons, examining British nuclear strategy, disarmament and non-proliferation policy, and civil defense policy. The focus then turns to diplomacy, broadly defined, in chapters that look at British-West German relations, Anglo-French nuclear cooperation and British policy towards the European Community, and transatlantic nuclear cooperation. The final major theme of the volume is intelligence, which is examined in terms of perceived threats to national security, Soviet missile defense and the British nuclear deterrent, and British economic intelligence activities." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
