The secret state : preparing for the worst 1945-2010
This updated edition of The Secret State revises Hennessy's picture of the Soviet threat that was presented to ministers from the last days of the Second World War to the 1960s. He maps the size and shape of the Cold War state built in response to that perceived threat, and traces the arguments used to justify the British nuclear capability. He also adds new material exploring the threats presented by the IRA and radical Islamic terrorists post-9/11
