John R. Walker

Britain and Disarmament (eBook, ePUB)

The UK and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Weapons Arms Control and Programmes 1956-1975

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through a thorough exploration of British government records, this book explores the UK's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programmes and attempts to control them between 1956 and 1975. It addresses issues concerning the military, economic and political pressures that influenced policy; the degree to which the UK was a reluctant or enthusiastic player on the international arms control stage; and the effect of international agreements on Britain's weapons programmes. In so doing, it provides the first attempt to assess Britain's NBC arms control policy and practice during the Cold War.
