This is the first book to describe and analyse the anti-war movement in Wales, and provides an insight into the two main strands of opposition to the war on religious and political grounds. This work details the breadth of anti-war activity and, for the first time, reveals and analyses the 900 conscientious objectors identified in Wales.
Nuclear weapons pose very difficult ethical, scientific, engineering, and industrial problems. Given the continuing contemporary debate about the utility or otherwise of nuclear weapons, it is instructive to look back at the evolution of the British nuclear program, a fascinating story in which Wales and some of its leading scientists and engineers played a significant role in developing atomic and later thermonuclear weapons.
