Nuclear Papers
Distributed for Liverpool University Press
Published in advance of the 2010 Inter-governmental Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Nuclear Papers makes available for the first time newly declassified government correspondence from David Owen’s tenure as Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, in which capacity he worked closely with high-ranking U.S. officials. Offering fascinating insight into the culture of secrecy in the upper echelons of government and a forceful polemic on nuclear weapons policy, David Owen argues convincingly that progress toward the elimination of nuclear weapons can be made by skillfully tying the events of thirty years ago to the present.
