Britain, Australia and the Bomb The Nuclear Tests and Their Aftermath

In 1947, Britain decided that it must possess nuclear weapons. Unlike the US and the USSR, it did not have the vast empty spaces in which to conduct the tests that would be necessary to develop these weapons. The solution was found in Australia. This book, first published in 1987, tells the story of that unique partnership. This new edition includes fresh evidence about the weapons under development, the effects of the tests on participants, and the recent clean-up of the testing range.Arnold, Lorna is the author of 'Britain, Australia and the Bomb The Nuclear Tests and Their Aftermath', published 2006 under ISBN 9781403921017 and ISBN 1403921016.
