The Chilly Conflict: A Navy Historical past

In The Chilly Conflict: A Navy Historical past, David Miller, a preeminent Chilly Conflict scholar, writes insightfully of the historic results of the navy build-up introduced on by the Chilly Conflict and its concomitant impact on technique. Bringing collectively for the primary time newly declassified data, Miller takes readers contained in the arsenals of the superpowers, describing how intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-based missiles, strategic bombers, and standard weapons have been employed by each side, in addition to the methods through which they have been, at many factors, nearly delivered to bear. His in-depth evaluation of how navy technique formed historical past, and his accounts of crises which may have turned the Chilly Conflict hot–the suppression of the Budapest rebellion in 1956, and the imposition of martial legislation in Poland in 1981–are significantly compelling. Many books have been written concerning the politics on this turbulent interval, however none have so comprehensively examined the navy technique and techniques of this harmful period.
