The Development of Nuclear Propulsion in the Royal Navy 1946-1975

Gareth (Taff) Jones has published his PhD thesis, The Development of Nuclear Propulsion in the Royal Navy, 1946-1975 as a book. He writes: As it is an academic publication it is quite expensive but the code below will allow those that are interested to purchase with a 20% discount available from today until 28th December. 

This is what Iain Ballantyne, author of The Deadly Trade and Hunter Killer thinks of the book: “The nuclear enterprise, and its success or failure, was fundamental to the UK, and also the USA, maintaining the edge in the Cold War under the sea. It is a devilishly complex subject, full of twists and turns, but Gareth Jones manage to tell the story in a lucid fashion. He unravels the complexities and provides deep understanding of the technological, political, industrial and key personalities. It is a ripping yarn that anyone seeking to truly comprehend the great submarine rivalry between the Soviet Union and NATO should read.”
