Duncan Sandys and British Nuclear Policy-Making

Duncan Sandys and British Nuclear Policy-Making

Lewis Betts

Palgrave Macmillan
2016
sidottu
This book offers new perspectives on British nuclear policy-making at the height of the Cold War, arguing that the decisions taken by the British government during the 1950s and 1960s in pursuit of its nuclear ambitions cannot be properly understood without close reference to Duncan Sandys, and in particular the policy preferences that emerged from his experiences of the Second World War and his efforts leading Britain's campaign against the V-1 and V-2. Immersing himself in this campaign against unmanned weaponry, Sandys came to see ballistic missiles as the only guarantor of nuclear credibility in the post-war world, placing them at the centre of his strategic thinking and developing a sincerely-held and logically-consistent belief system which he carried with him through a succession of ministerial roles, allowing him to exert a previously undocumented level of influence on the nature of Britain's nuclear capabilities and its approach to the Cold War. This book shows the profound influence Sandys' personal belief system had on Britain's attempts to acquire a credible nuclear deterrent.

Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry

Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry

Malcolm C. Duncan

First published in 1866, by Malcolm C. Duncan, "Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry" provides a fascinating glimpse into the rights and rituals of this secretive organization. Duncan did not write this guide to shine light on Masonry for outsiders, but rather to help new members navigate the complex organization. As he states in the Preface: "The purpose of this work is not so much to gratify the curiosity of the uninitiated as to furnish a guide for the neophytes of the Order, by means of which their progress from grade to grade may be facilitated. Every statement in the book is authentic, as every proficient Mason will admit to himself, if not to be public, as he turns over its pages. The non-Masonic reader, as he peruses them, will perhaps be puzzled to imagine why matters of so little real importance to society at large should have been so industriously concealed for centuries, and still more surprised that society should have been so extremely inquisitive about them." This definitive guide, still in use since the nineteenth-century, includes the first three degrees of the "Ancient York Right", as well as four advanced degrees and elaborates on the many symbols, images, and physical gestures that a Freemason must know. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
