Revised and Updated 2018 EditionEight years on from the first edition, worsening relations between the West and Russia, and the US and North Korea, have brought nuclear weapons back to the forefront of world attention and public concern.Almost thirty years after the Cold War ended, some 14,500 nuclear weapons remain; and the nuclear weapon states are all modernising their nuclear arsenals. They cite nuclear deterrence doctrine as the final, indispensable justification for maintaining them. This drives the spread of nuclear weapons to paranoid regimes and extremists who are least likely to be deterred.The fallacies of nuclear deterrence must, therefore, be exposed and alternatives offered if there is to be any serious prospect of eliminating nuclear weapons.A former operator of British nuclear weapons, Commander Green has drawn together a concise, carefully researched and documented account of the history, practicalities and dangerous contradictions at the heart of nuclear deterrence. He offers more credible, effective and responsible alternative strategies to deter aggression and achieve real security.Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham KCB, MA, a leading authority on deterrence, haswritten a major new Foreword to this edition, on the most sensitive and contentious issue in British defence policy with huge implications for the effectiveness, image and ethos of the Royal Navy. He concludes: 'This is a most important contribution to the debate on a subject which is crucial to the survival of the human race, and it needs to be read with a degree of humility and an open mind - qualities not always apparent among our decision-makers and their advisers.'
Commander Robert Green served for twenty years in the British Royal Navy from 1962-82. As a bombardier-navigator, he flew in Buccaneer nuclear strike aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters. On promotion to Commander in 1978, he worked in the Ministry of Defence before his final appointment as Staff Officer (Intelligence) to the Commander-in-Chief Fleet during the Falklands War. Commander Green chaired the UK affiliate of the World Court Project (1991-2004), an international citizen campaign which led to the International Court of Justice judgment in 1996 that threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be illegal. From 1998-2002 he was Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee of the Middle Powers Initiative. Now Co-Director with his wife, Dr Kate Dewes ONZM, of the Disarmament & Security Centre in New Zealand, he is *also* the author of The Naked Nuclear Emperor: Debunking Nuclear Deterrence, and Fast Track to Zero Nuclear Weapons: The Middle Powers Initiative. *The UK edition of h*[H]is latest book, A Thorn in Their Side: The Hilda Murrell Murder, was published in 201*3*[1]. *On 28 October 2017, Commander Green gave the first TEDx talk on nuclear deterrence, in Christ's College Old Boys' Theatre, Christchurch - see https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH6xkjMNdnk. His leisure pursuits include enjoying his step-grandchildren, gardening, theatre, music, delving into Maori history and language, and exploring the spectacular scenery of his adopted homeland.*
