520 1 $a"This is a study of British thinking about nuclear weapons in the period up to about 1970. The author looks at this subject through the eyes of the Royal Navy, an approach that offers new insights not found in previous work in the field. He argues that the Royal Navy was always sceptical about nuclear weapons, both on practical grounds and because of its wartime and pre-war experiences.
520 8 $aFrom a post-Cold War perspective, the book suggests that such scepticism can teach us a great deal about military-technological innovation." "The Royal Navy and Nuclear Weapons will appeal to students of naval history, postwar defence policy and the Cold War, as well as professional practitioners and the informed general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
