Alternative Defence Policy

<p>This book first published in 1988 represents a unique attempt to combine a discussion of an alternative British defence policy in terms of military strategy and new technology with a consideration of how this policy might be secure in political terms. Written against a background of a possible future Labour government in the late 1980s with a radically different defence policy to the Conservative Government of the day it considers questions such as: Would conventional deterrence really be effective? Just what is the Labour Party’s defence policy? How precisely might Britain be transformed into a non-aligned non-militarist state?</p>
