Seller's Description:
Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor corner curl. xiv, 273, [1] p. Illustrations. Notes and References. Select Bibliography. Index. Scarce. Foreword by Lawrence Freedman. Lorna Arnold OBE (7 December 1915 25 March 2014) was a British historian who wrote a number of books connected with the British nuclear weapons programmes. [1] As the second official historian of the British nuclear weapons programmes, she had access to previously secret documents and personally knew many of the people involved the work of the UKAEA. In her old age she was still an active participant in intelligence/historical community debate, as evinced by her contributions to meetings such the Oxford Intelligence Group on 17 June 2008. Arnold took over the role of official historian of the UKAEA, and wrote various books and articles on British nuclear programs, both civil and military. She worked at the UKAEA sites in London, Harwell, and Aldermaston, but her collaborations with American, European, and--eventually--Russian scientists and historians took her all over the world, from Vienna to Los Alamos.
