This book reveals the nature and level of British engagement with
controversial and lethal nerve agent weapons from the end of the
Second World War to Britain's submission of a draft Chemical
Weapons Convention. At the very heart of this highly secretive
aspect of British defence policy were fundamental questions over
whether Britain should acquire nerve agent weapons for potential
first-use against the Soviet Union, retain them purely for their
deterrence value, or drive for either unilateral or international
chemical weapons disarmament. These considerations and concerns
over nerve agent weapons were not limited to low-level defence
committees, nor were they consigned to the periphery, but featured
prominently at the highest levels of the British government and
defence planning. Importantly, and despite stringent secrecy, the
book further uncovers how public scrutiny and protest movements
played a substantial and successful part in influencing policy and
attitudes towards nerve agent weapons.
