'Comprehensive in scope and lucidly written, this is an indispensable source for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of Australian nuclear policy in all its dimensions. There is bound to be dissent from some of its judgments - I, for one, think the authors understate the genuineness and intensity of the Hawke-Keating Governments' commitment to nuclear disarmament, as distinct from just proliferation - but no one interested in these issues can afford not to give it bookshelf pride of place.' Gareth Evans, Minister for Resources and Energy 1984-87, Foreign Minister 1988-96, Co-Chair International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament 2009 'This is a wide-ranging work, and will be the unrivalled go-to source for understanding Australia's approach to nuclear affairs across strategic, political, and economic dimensions. Combining scholarly rigor with keen attentiveness to the policy issues, the authors illuminate Australian nuclear policy - its activism and ambivalence, its consistencies and contradictions, its principles and pitfalls.' Bates Gill, The University of Sydney, Australia
