　　This book provides a complete history of the US FleetBallistic Missile programme from its inception in the 1950s and thedevelopment of Polaris to the deployment of Trident II in 1990.Writing in an accessible yet scholarly manner, Graham Spinardibases his historical documentation of FBM development on interviewswith many of the key participants. His study confronts a centralissue: is technology simply a tool used to achieve the goals ofsociety, or is it an autonomous force in shaping that society? FBMaccuracy evolved from the city-busting retaliatory capability ofPolaris to the silo-busting 'first strike' potential of Trident. Isthis a case of technology 'driving' the arms race, or simply theintended product of political decisions?
