For more than forty years NATO premised its defence on credible nuclear deterrence. Underwriting this deterrence was NATO's strategy and the nuclear weapons and command and control systems intended to make the strategy an operational reality. This book examines NATO's attempts between 1952 and 1990 to achieve the political and military control of nuclear weapons operations in a multinational organisation. By using case-studies of US, British, French and NATO nuclear weapons operations and empirical evidence from Cold War crises it provides an analysis of NATO's experience and offers insights for the present day.

COMMAND AND CONTROL, NATO, NUCLEAR WEAPONS:FLEXIBLE RESPONSE, COMMUNICATIONS, DECISION-MAKING.
This book discusses command and control of strategic nuclear weapons. Its goal is to facilitate cooperation in this field between official and independent experts in Russia, the United States and other countries, and to make these matters a subject of public discussion.
The first overview of US NC3 since the 1980s, Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications explores the current system, its vital role in ensuring effective deterrence, the challenges posed by cyber threats, and the need to modernize the United States' Cold War-era system of systems.
In this study, the author examines the development of command and control systems for nuclear weapons in NATO Europe and finds them to be flawed. The author proposes to modify the current arrangements by enhancing Europe's role while simultaneously reducing NATO's nuclear arsenal.
In this analysis of key doctrines, plans and policies at the centre of the controversy about Western deterrence and defence, the author points to "doctrinal deficiencies", and examines NATO ideas on escalation and policy in terms of both logical consistency and implication for strategy.
