Product Description
Since World War II Britain has consistently been one of the world's leading arms exporters. At the same time, arms sales have been at the top of the political agenda in such cases as the arms-to-Iraq, the Pergau Dam affairs, and concerns over the sale of arms to countries such as Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Drawing extensively on official documents, this book is the first in-depth analysis of British arms sales policy.
