Trade paperback. Reprint. Third printing [stated]. xiv, 273, [1] p. Illustrations. Notes and References. Select Bibliography. Index. Scarce. Foreword by Lawrence Freedman. Lorna Arnold OBE (7 December 1915 25 March 2014) was a British historian who wrote a number of books connected with the British nuclear weapons programmes. [1] As the second official historian of the British nuclear weapons programmes, she had access to previously secret documents and personally knew many of the people involved the work of the UKAEA. In her old age she was still an active participant in intelligence/historical community debate, as evinced by her contributions to meetings such the Oxford Intelligence Group on 17 June 2008. Arnold took over the role of official historian of the UKAEA, and wrote various books and articles on British nuclear programs, both civil and military. She worked at the UKAEA sites in London, Harwell, and Aldermaston, but her collaborations with American, European, and--eventually--Russian scientists and historians took her all over the world, from Vienna to Los Alamos. Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor corner curl.

This is followed by Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Britain, Australia and the Bomb tells the story of the unique partnership between the two countries to develop nuclear weapons in the 1940s and 1950s. This new edition includes fresh evidence about the weapons under development, the effects of the tests on participants, and the recent clean-up of the testing range. Lorna Arnold, who lived to be 98, was the official historian of Britain's nuclear project and the author of landmark books on the Windscale reactor accident of 1957, on British nuclear testing in Australia and on the development of the hydrogen bomb. She brought to these controversial subjects the highest standards of official history writing, and as a result was able to command the respect of both opponents and supporters of the nuclear deterrent, at times when the two could agree on little else. Her views and habits were shaped in the wartime civil service, where she worked supporting high-level War Office committees, and then in the Foreign Office department that planned the postwar occupation of Germany. She went to Berlin in 1945 to put the plans into action, and then as a diplomat to Washington. Her experiences taught her a profound respect for the best in British public service and a fierce intolerance of anything less than the best. This rigor she later applied to the people and events she wrote about as a historian, always seeing it as her job to place a clear and accurate story before the public rather than to serve the interests of the nuclear establishment. She was recruited to the civil service on the outbreak of war; there her shrewdness and administrative ability shone through, so that by the time she moved to occupation planning her staff included three majors (all men) and her deputy was the young writer Goronwy Rees. In the unstable Berlin of 1945, where she slept with a revolver under her pillow and was greeted by soldiers as "Miss Rainbow, sir!", she was UK secretary to the economic directorate, engaged in constant, difficult negotiations with the Russians, French and Americans. A short assignment to Washington in 1946 to discuss cost-sharing for the occupation turned into a full-time post at the embassy there. A chance encounter in Russell Square with a former Berlin colleague brought her back into the Atomic Energy Authority. First she worked in health and safety, and then she took a position managing records and supporting the official historian, Margaret Gowing. Her first published output was six chapters of Gowing's 1974 work, Independence and Deterrence: Britain and Atomic Energy 1945-52, and then, as Gowing wound down her involvement, Arnold took wing. A Very Special Relationship: British Atomic Weapon Trials in Australia (1987) addressed what was then a highly controversial subject with the fairness and clarity that would become her hallmark. Windscale 1957: Anatomy of a Nuclear Accident (1992) revealed her talent, as a non-scientist, for incorporating challenging science in a dramatic narrative, again while navigating highly charged debates about blame. Britain and the H-Bomb (2001), published when she was 85 and her sight was deteriorating, maintained her very highest standards. She was not only an astute exploiter of records: she had a remarkable gift for making people talk. Her books never lose track of the people among the policies and events. Second Edition [stated].
