Abstract
This book is a study of nuclear command and control in NATO and the strategy of flexible response. It looks at the political, military and politico-military dimensions of NATO nuclear command and control from the introduction of nuclear weapons into the Western European theatre in 1952 until the de facto abandonment of the strategy of flexible response at NATO’s Defence Planning Committee meeting in May 1990.
