'There is now considerable evidence that Trident is being seen as a multi-purpose missile which could well be used in limited nuclear wars, especially in a North-South conflict, a function which fits in with previous orientations in British nuclear policy. Milan Rai's book is one of the first serious attempts to address this issue and is an effective study of a core part of British defence policy which is all too readily ignored.' - Paul Rogers (Professor of Peace Studies, University of Bradford)
