Imagining Nuclear War in the British Army offers a thorough and ambitious evaluation of the British Army's mission to conceptualize and prepare for a war often deemed to be 'devoid of any military or political utility' (p. v). It will be of principle interest to historians of Britain working on Cold War military policy, but also offers insight into the military manifestations of cultural nuclear anxiety, and the experiences of BAOR. Its main strength lies in its careful and considered analysis of the defence establishment's nuclear doctrine, but Moody also skilfully addresses the pervasive cognitive dissonance at the heart of such thinking. * Fiona J. Bowler, University of Southampton, Journal of Contemporary History *
