Drawing on primary sources from both sides of the Atlantic,
"Britain and the Bomb" explores how economic, political, and
strategic considerations have shaped British nuclear diplomacy. The
book concentrates on Prime Minister Harold Wilson's first two terms
of office, 1964-1970, which represent a critical period in
international nuclear history. Wilson's commitment to the
Non-Proliferation Treaty and his support for continued investment
in the British nuclear weapons program, despite serious economic
and political challenges, established precedents that still
influence policymakers today. The continued independence of
Britain's nuclear force, and the enduring absence of a German or
European deterrent, certainly owes a debt to Wilson's handling of
nuclear diplomacy more than four decades ago. Beyond highlighting
the importance of this period, the book explains how and why
British nuclear diplomacy evolved during Wilson's leadership.
Cabinet discussions, financial crises, and international tensions
encouraged a degree of flexibility in the pursuit of strategic
independence and the creation of a non-proliferation treaty. Gill
shows us that British nuclear diplomacy was a series of
compromises, an intricate blend of political, economic, and
strategic considerations.
