“Provide a full account of the debates within the British government about an earlier modernization that resulted in the deployment of US ground-launched cruise missiles to the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Western Europe in the 1980s. … provide new insights into our understanding of the UK’s nuclear history and should be read by those interested in this subject area, in the US–UK relationship, and British defence policy more generally and by those analysing why states retain nuclear capabilities.” (Andrew Dorman, International Affairs, Vol. 91 (6), 2015)
'The third volume in Kristan Stoddart's monumental history of British nuclear deterrent policy takes the reader from 1976 to 1983, a key period in the story when nuclear policy became an important domestic political issue. As usual, he handles his wide rangeof sources with consummate skill and insight.' - Professor Eric Grove, Liverpool Hope University, UK
