Know about the book -

NATO, Britain, France and the FRG is written by B. Heuser and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230377629 (ISBN 10) and 9780230377622 (ISBN 13).

Containing the histories (from 1945 to the present) of the nuclear strategies of NATO, Britain and France, and of the defence preferences of the FRG (West Germany), this book shows how strategies were functions of a perceived Soviet threat and an American 'nuclear guarantee'. There were three options for West Europeans: a compromise with differing American needs in NATO, pursued by Britain and the FRG; national nuclear forces, developed by Britain and France; and projects for an independent European nuclear force.
