Cabinets and the Bomb by Peter Hennessy
The nuclear weapons question runs through recent British history like an irradiated thread. This collection of declassified papers uncovers the private debates and justifications for Britain being a nuclear power, exchanged between ministers, civil servants, scientists and intelligence officers. The narrative takes the story up to spring 2007.
The declassified papers offer an extraordinary perspective on things that were long secret..This is a rich collection that deserves extended study. * Milan Rai, Peace News *
