Book excerpt: "Cold War, Hot Science presents an authoritative history of post-war British defence research as related to the establishments that now form part of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA)." "The agency includes such well-known centres as the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern, and the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down. Collectively these have carried out a very high proportion of all the scientific research conducted in Britain since the war. Study of these vast, but traditionally secretive, institutions is vital to understanding science in post-war Britain."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
