David James Gill Britain and the Bomb sku-24751746

David James Gill's Britain and the Bomb: Nuclear Diplomacy, 1964-1970 is a hardcover in the Stanford Nuclear Age Series, listed under Military History Books. Drawing on primary sources from both sides of the Atlantic, it examines how economic, political and strategic considerations shaped British nuclear diplomacy during Prime Minister Harold Wilson's first two terms.

It covers Wilson's support for the Non-Proliferation Treaty and continued investment in British nuclear weapons despite economic and political challenges. Gill argues that Wilson's diplomacy set precedents still affecting policy, including Britain's independent nuclear force and the absence of a German or European deterrent.

Cabinet discussions, financial crises and international tensions shaped the compromises involved. SKU: sku-24751746.
