At the very heart of this highly secretive aspect of British defence policy were fundamental questions over whether Britain should acquire nerve agent weapons for potential first-use against the Soviet Union, retain them purely for their deterrence value, or drive for either unilateral or international chemical weapons disarmament. These considerations and concerns over nerve agent weapons were not limited to low-level defence committees, nor were they consigned to the periphery, but featured prominently at the highest levels of the British government and defence planning. Importantly, and despite stringent secrecy, the book further uncovers how public scrutiny and protest movements played a substantial and successful part in influencing policy and attitudes towards nerve agent weapons.?. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Defence policy; Second World War; Cold War; Grass-roots activists; Defence officials; Chemical warfare; An | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-70474-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-70476-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-70474-2Series ISSN 2947-7182 Series E-ISSN 2947-7190 | | issn_series | 2947-7182 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
