Written by Field Marshal Richard Michael Power Carver, Baron Carver, GCB, CBE, DSO & Bar, MC, (24 April 1915 – 9 December 2001) who certainly had all of the qualifications required for this work, we are taken through a series of possibilities in the search for peace in the age of nuclear weapons.
Field Marshal Lord Carver tackles the various thoughts on the subject by others, and then lays his own concepts out in a common sense manner, explaining in layman’s terms why and how his ideas could work.
One line I found rather humorous was his reference to the ‘US Air Force’s long-range bomber force of ancient B-52s’. The Lord could not have imagined that over 30 years after penning those words, those same B-52s would still be on active duty.
This book will appeal to the military historian – especially anyone interested in the Cold War, and although it would be hard to acquire at this point, if you happen to see one in your travels through used book stores; grab it. You won’t be sorry.
