The Truth About Trident: Disarming the Nuclear Argument
English
By (author): Timmon Milne Wallis
The UK is one of nine states possessing nuclear weapons. Renewal of the Trident programme would extend Britains commitment to so-called nuclear deterrence well into the second half of this century, despite treaty obligations and an unequivocal undertaking to disarm. With more than 16,000 nuclear weapons stockpiled worldwide, the risk of one going off by accident or design is increasing every day.
Wallis in The Truth about Trident explores the issues Trident presents and raises questions like: what would be the impact of their use? How safe are they in the meantime? Are they really necessary? Can we afford them? Are there better alternatives? This book aims to peel back layers of confusion and deceit to reach the truth about Trident.
