Sumario:This volume provides an up-to-date study of the current UK nuclear program and related issues that reflect the complexity of the Trident weapons system and the changing nature of deterrence in the 21st century. In 2016, the United Kingdom will decide on whether to go ahead and build the next generation of nuclear submarines that will allow the UK to remain in the nuclear business well into the second half of this century. The book presents the political, cultural, technical, and strategic aspects of Trident to provide a thoughtful overview of the UK's complex relationship with nuclear weapons.
