13. NUCLEAR JEALOUSIES
The Cabinet papers for the Macmillan years are slowly becoming available at the Public Record Office in London. Meanwhile, Dr. Margaret Gowing’s Independence and Deterrence: Britain and Atomic Energy (1974) is an outstanding account of the political aspects of the Atlantic nuclear alliance. (She also contributed an excellent essay to the Louis-Bull “special relationship” anthology cited in the bibliography for Chapter 11.) R. G. Hewlett and F. Duncan’s A History of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission is a necessary and logical counterpart. The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier by Duncan Campbell (1984) is a fine piece of investigation which should shame the Parliament and press that needed to leave such a task to a lone individual. The Forrestal Diaries: The Inner History of the Cold War, edited by William Millis (1951), shows the panicky and improvised way in which major long-term decisions were (and by extension are) taken in this field.
