Beskrivning

The Long Wait examines the history of the United States' dealings with the United Kingdom on nuclear matters in the first dozen years following the Second World War. Chief among the issues analyzed are whether to share nuclear information, know-how, and technology with the British; whether to cooperate in the control and allocation of critical raw and nuclear materials, whether to grant the British any right of consultation on use of American nuclear bombers based in Britain, and on what terms to introduce into Britain American intermediate range nuclear-tipped missiles.

Recensioner i media

Timothy J. Botti's volume about the shaping of the nuclear partnership in the period 1945-58 is a very valuable contribution to the existing literature on this theme, some of which is now rather dated. . . . Its appearance is timely.
