Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is the story of a very British deterrent. Much has been written about the V-bombers the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan but virtually nothing has been said about their strategic nuclear strike role. How would Britain's small force of subsonic bombers have retaliated following a Soviet attac…k? Would they have succeeded in visiting thermonuclear catastrophe on their Soviet targets? V-Bombers: Britain's Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of the airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of confrontation with the Soviet Union. This book is the product of seven years of research by the author, Dr Tony Redding. It includes a great deal of fresh material on V-Force weapons, war mission, targeting, vulnerabilities and tactics for attacking targets within Soviet Russia. Over 70 V-Force aircrew and ground crew were interviewed and over 300 operational research reports and other official documents reviewed. The author demonstrates how the V-bombers retained a unilateral capacity to destroy a small number of the very largest cities in the Soviet Union in the period until the handover of the strategic nuclear deterrent to the Polaris submarines in 1969. This core retaliatory threat, centred on the destruction of Moscow and Leningrad, was judged severe enough to undermine Russia's position in relation to the United States. In short, a few British V-bombers had the destructive capacity to destabilise the balance between the superpowers. The book concludes that, within the first few hours, a small force of surviving V-bombers could have unleashed the explosive power of all Allied bombs dropped on Germany in six years of war. A sobering thought and a fascinating and necessary read for all those interested in this period of history. AUTHOR: Dr Tony Redding is a military historian and author with a particular interest in RAF Bomber Command. Following the publication of two books on Bomber Command in World War 2, Dr Redding began a detailed research programme on the British airborne nuclear deterrent, leading to a PhD from Kings College London (War Studies) and this last book, on the operational capability of the V-bomber force during the Cold War. Tony has lectured and broadcast widely on Bomber Command and other military subjects. He is also a founder member of the Chindit Society. V-Bombers: Britains Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of the airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of confrontation with the Soviet Union. 70+ V-Force aircrew and ground crew were interviewed and 300+ operational research reports and official documents reviewed.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. War in the Wilderness is the most comprehensive account ever published of the human aspects of the Chindit war in Burma. The word 'Chindit' will always have a special resonance in military circles. Every Chindit endured what is widely regarded as the toughest sustained Allied combat experie…nce of the Second World War. The Chindit expeditions behind Japanese lines in occupied Burma 19431944 transformed the morale of British forces after the crushing defeats of 1942. The Chindits provided the springboard for the Allies' later offensives. The two expeditions extended the boundaries of human endurance. The Chindits suffered slow starvation and exposure to dysentery, malaria, typhus and a catalogue of other diseases. They endured the intense mental strain of living and fighting under the jungle canopy, with the ever-present threat of ambush or simply 'bumping' the enemy. Every Chindit carried his kit and weapons (equivalent to two heavy suitcases) in the tropical heat and humidity. A disabling wound or sickness frequently meant a lonely death. Those who could no longer march were often left behind with virtually no hope of survival. Some severely wounded were shot or given a lethal dose of morphia to ensure they would not be captured alive by the Japanese. Fifty veterans of the Chindit expeditions kindly gave interviews for this book. Many remarked on the self-reliance that sprang from living and fighting as a Chindit. Whatever happened to them after their experiences in Burma, they knew that nothing else would ever be as bad. There are first-hand accounts of the bitter and costly battles and the final, wasteful weeks, when men were forced to continue fighting long after their health and strength had collapsed. War in the Wilderness continues the story as the survivors returned to civilian life. They remained Chindits for the rest of their days, members of a brotherhood forged in extreme adversity.

How would Britain's small force of subsonic bombers have retaliated following a Soviet attac…k? Would they have succeeded in visiting thermonuclear catastrophe on their Soviet targets? V-Bombers: Britain's Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of the airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of confrontation with the Soviet Union. This book is the product of seven years of research by the author, Dr Tony Redding. It includes a great deal of fresh material on V-Force weapons, war mission, targeting, vulnerabilities and tactics for attacking targets within Soviet Russia. Over 70 V-Force aircrew and ground crew were interviewed and over 300 operational research reports and other official documents reviewed. The author demonstrates how the V-bombers retained a unilateral capacity to destroy a small number of the very largest cities in the Soviet Union in the period until the handover of the strategic nuclear deterrent to the Polaris submarines in 1969. This core retaliatory threat, centred on the destruction of Moscow and Leningrad, was judged severe enough to undermine Russia's position in relation to the United States. In short, a few British V-bombers had the destructive capacity to destabilise the balance between the superpowers. The book concludes that, within the first few hours, a small force of surviving V-bombers could have unleashed the explosive power of all Allied bombs dropped on Germany in six years of war. A sobering thought and a fascinating and necessary read for all those interested in this period of history. AUTHOR: Dr Tony Redding is a military historian and author with a particular interest in RAF Bomber Command. Following the publication of two books on Bomber Command in World War 2, Dr Redding began a detailed research programme on the British airborne nuclear deterrent, leading to a PhD from Kings College London (War Studies) and this last book, on the operational capability of the V-bomber force during the Cold War. Tony has lectured and broadcast widely on Bomber Command and other military subjects. He is also a founder member of the Chindit Society. Much has been written about the V-bombers the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan but virtually nothing has been said about their strategic nuclear strike role. This is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of Britains airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of the Cold War.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. War in the Wilderness is the most comprehensive account ever published of the human aspects of the Chindit war in Burma.The word Chindit will always have a special resonance in military circles. Every Chindit endured what is widely regarded as the toughest sustained Allied combat experience of t…he Second World War. The Chindit expeditions behind Japanese lines in occupied Burma 19431944 transformed the morale of British forces after the crushing defeats of 1942. The Chindits provided the springboard for the Allies later offensives.The two expeditions extended the boundaries of human endurance. The Chindits suffered slow starvation and exposure to dysentery, malaria, typhus and a catalogue of other diseases. They endured the intense mental strain of living and fighting under the jungle canopy, with the ever-present threat of ambush or simply bumping the enemy. Every Chindit carried his kit and weapons (equivalent to two heavy suitcases) in the tropical heat and humidity. A disabling wound or sickness frequently meant a lonely death. Those who could no longer march were often left behind with virtually no hope of survival. Some severely wounded were shot or given a lethal dose of morphia to ensure they would not be captured alive by the Japanese.Fifty veterans of the Chindit expeditions kindly gave interviews for this book. Many remarked on the self-reliance that sprang from living and fighting as a Chindit. Whatever happened to them after their experiences in Burma, they knew that nothing else would ever be as bad. There are first-hand accounts of the bitter and costly battles and the final, wasteful weeks, when men were forced to continue fighting long after their health and strength had collapsed. War in the Wilderness continues the story as the survivors returned to civilian life. They remained Chindits for the rest of their days, members of a brotherhood forged in extreme adversity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
