Description
Kevin Clements traces the history of New Zealand's involvement in the nuclear arms race, from the early development of nuclear power to the implications of their ban on vessels carrying nuclear weapons and on nuclear powered ships. Dr. Clements concludes with an assessment of the current state of US-New Zealand relations and the lasting global impact of New Zealand's unilateral nuclear-free stance in the light of the dramatic changes now taking place in international politics.
