Nuclear alliances are high stakes partnerships with the potential
to enhance security, goodwill, scientific and technical innovation,
and economic well-being; or, they risk a state's very existence,
generate social and political unrest, and fracture frameworks for
international cooperation and jeopardize global reputations. Now
entering its eighth decade, the Anglo-American nuclear alliance is
the oldest and most complex in the world. Sharing Nuclear Secrets
is the first comprehensive single-volume study of the
Anglo-American nuclear relationship, illuminating both its
fragility and durability. It has waxed and waned based on the
preferences of presidents and prime ministers, weathered war
scares, overcome isolationist impulses and imperial decline,
persisted despite public antipathy, and has survived and been
strengthened by scientific rivalries. Trust and ambiguity are
entangled at the core of the Anglo-American nuclear relationship.
The interplay between trust and ambiguity has influenced the way
the nuclear partnership has been institutionalized at bureaucratic
and technical levels, but also the ways in which political actors
and private citizens have maintained the relationship through
periods of crisis, moments of triumph, and through decades of
cultural reckoning with nuclear weapons. From the days of the
Manhattan Project, through the crisis of Suez and criticism of Dr.
Strangelove, to the end of the Cold War, and into present day
circumstances brought about by the JCPOA, AUKUS, and Russian
nuclear threats over Ukraine, Sharing Nuclear Secrets reveals that
ambiguity is key to keeping the balance between sentiment and
interests and the corresponding equilibrium between trust and
mistrust in the special relationship.
