Reviews

'Nuclear-weapon proliferation and nuclear disarmament are clearly important topical issues and will remain so for some time. British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954-1973 is an extremely valuable resource for those interested in them. Politicians, students of international politics and international relations, journalists and interested members of the public will greatly benefit from reading it.' Medicine, Conflict and Survival 'In detailing British policy towards the test ban, and in mapping its potential and actual consequences as they were felt in Whitehall, Walker's book sheds light on just how important this issue was for the easily-anxious in Britain's nuclear world.' Journal of Transatlantic Studies
