Polaris: The History of the Uk's Submarine Force

By Keith Hall

A detailed history of the UK's Polaris submarine force and its role in the Cold War.

Between 1968 and 1996, the Polaris submarines of the 10th Submarine Squadron undertook 229 patrols, covering over 2 million miles. This is the story of the Polaris programme, delivered on time and on budget by a small group of naval officers and civil servants, ensuring Britain maintained a Continuous at Sea Deterrence for twenty-eight years.

Polaris combines historical analysis with personal memories and photographs, creating a lasting legacy to a fascinating project and providing an insight into a world that no longer exists. Perfect for readers interested in military history, Cold War history, and submarine warfare.
