{"product_id":"the-control-of-nato-nuclear-marco-carnovale-9781790911127","title":"The Control of NATO Nuclear Forces in Europe during the Cold War","description":"This book examines the development of command and control systems for nuclear weapons in NATO Europe during the Cold War. This is a reprint of a book originally published in 1993. The United States and Europe had for a long time stressed different aspects of their common concern for the control of nuclear forces. The US mostly feared a failure of negative control, ie the possibility of accidental or inadvertent use. The Europeans shared this concern but emphasized the need for reliable positive control of the deterrent, ie the assurance that it would function as planned in an emergency. Unsurprisingly, American views prevailed, and moved the UK and France to develop their own national deterrent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten at the end of the cold war, this book argued for the creation of a European deterrent, integrated with NATO, on the basis of the French and UK forces. Since then, these two countries have repeatedly discussed this issue, and that is why, twenty-five years after it was written, the conclusions of this book are still relevant for current policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marco Carnovale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1790911125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781790911127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Marco Carnovale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077414449407,"sku":"9781790911127","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad1b30fa-c419-4901-97c2-6751296ebeb5.jpg?v=1685469847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-control-of-nato-nuclear-marco-carnovale-9781790911127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
