Pressestimmen
“This book illuminates an important period of UK policy making and policy execution, revealing details, mechanisms, and motivations that once were shrouded. It is a worthy addition to the scholarly literature and will contribute to the reshaping of understandings of our nuclear heritage.” (George Bizetas, flight.com.gr, January 18, 2024)'...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 haswritten 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
