Recensioner i media

'...a most rewarding and fascinating read...' - Royal Air Force Historical Society 'this thoughtful book is an excellent study on a turbulent period of Britain's nuclear history and veritable trove of material on all aspects of the story. It deserves to be diligently mined by readers for a long time to come.' - Matthew Grant in Contemporary British History 'a valuable addition to the literature, and a valuable resource for any student of the period.' - Melissa Smith, British Journal for the History of Science 'Moore has written an admirably clear and deeply-researched account of British nuclear policy across this era. By rendering such an intricate and at times arcane subject in straightforward, uncluttered and authoritative prose, Moore has made a substantial contribution to the literature on postwar nuclear policy.' - Matthew Jones, University of Nottingham, UK
