Another Good Book about Cold War Plans

This book is a must for anyone interested in Cold War nuclear planning. For me the best part was the Prime Minister's hand written instructions to the submarine ballistic missile forces. Anyone who has read "Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier", "War Plan UK" by Duncan Campbell and "The Doomsday Scenario" by Douglas Keeney will enjoy this book.
