Covering the development of the atomic bomb through the Second World Conflict, the roots and early course of the Cold Conflict and the arrival of the hydrogen bomb in the early 1950s, Churchill and the Bomb in Conflict and Cold Conflict explores a still neglected aspect of Winston Churchill's job: his romance with and considering on nuclear weaponry. Kevin Ruane shows how Churchill proceeded to go from about the bomb as a tool of conflict in the have a problem with Nazi Germany to enjoying it as a tool of Communist containment (and even punishment) in the early Cold Conflict before, in the 1950s, advocating and probably pioneering what would become known as mutually reassured destruction as the main element to stopping the Cold Conflict flaring into a calamitous nuclear conflict. While other studies of Churchill have handled on his evolving views on nuclear weaponry, few historians have with all this hugely important concern the sort of dedicated and sustained treatment it deserves. In Churchill and the Bomb in Conflict and Cold Conflict, however, Kevin Ruane has undertaken extensive main research in Britain, the United States and Europe and accessed a wide array of secondary books in producing an greatly digestible yet detailed, insightful and provocative accounts of Churchill's nuclear expectations and fears.
