The United Kingdom was the first country to undertake atomic energy
research and development for military purposes. In April 1940 the
British government commissioned a group of scientists to study the
possibilities of manufacturing a 'uranium bomb' in wartime.
Originally published in 1984, this book traces the development of
British nuclear weapons from those early times to the present. It
examines the decisions of Atlee and the MacMillan governments in
sustaining the nuclear deterrent through the hydrogen bomb and the
Polaris programme, and discusses in detail the decision to proceed
with Trident. Throughout the narrative is set against the
background of British domestic politics and Anglo-American
relations. The book demonstrates why for nearly forty years British
governments remained committed to an independent nuclear deterrent
as the last line of defence should NATO fail.
