Security without Nuclear Deterrence

'Security Without Nuclear Deterrence' is the latest book by Commander Robert Green, Royal Navy (Retired), a former operator of British nuclear weapons and the first ex-British Navy Commander with nuclear weapon experience to speak out against them. The book is a carefully researched and documented critique which exposes the contradictions and fallacies of nuclear deterrence, and concludes that nuclear weapons undermine rather than enhance security.

The arguments he raises are critical if there is to be any serious prospect of eliminating nuclear weapons. Read more
