Say in the End of the World Morals and British Nuclear Weapons Policy, 1941-1987

Is Britain prepared to defend itself, or only to play a part in Armageddon? Examining recently released British government documents, this study presents a moral history of British defense policy. Roger Ruston analyzes government rationales for Britain's dependence on weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, arguing they are often essentially rationalizations for unstoppable political programs divorced from defense needs and morality.Ruston, Roger is the author of 'Say in the End of the World Morals and British Nuclear Weapons Policy, 1941-1987' with ISBN 9780198275657 and ISBN 019827565X.
