Britain, NATO and Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear deterrence, Britain's defence budget, the state of Anglo-American relations, NATO strategies and Mr Gorbachev's security arrangements in Europe proposals are discussed. Ken Booth's previous publications include "American Thinking About Peace and War" (co-editor), "Contemporary Strategy: Theories and policies" (with John Baylis) and "The Military Instrument in Soviet Foreign Policy, 1917-1972". John Baylis' previous publications include "Alternative Approaches to British Defence Policy" (editor), "Nuclear War and Nuclear Peace" (joint author) and "Soviet Strategy" (co-editor).
