This expensive and vast 'technopolitical' project, mostly top-secret and run by small sub-committees within government, was central to broader Cold War strategy and policy. Recent attempts to map the resulting social and cultural history of these military-industrial policy decisions suggest that nuclear mobilisation had far-reaching consequences for British life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eContemporary British History.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616314310807,"sku":"9780367743116","price":14808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367743116.webp?v=1775112525","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/british-nuclear-mobilisation-since-1945-social-and-cultural-histories-9780367743116","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
