1. The Heath government and the Not So Special Relationship, 1970-1974 -- 2. The 'special nuclear relationship' under Heath, 1970-1974 -- 3. Britain, NATO's Evolving Military Doctrine and its Nuclear Planning Group: the Balance between the Sword and the Shield, 1970-1974 -- 4. National Strategy and Multilateral Priorities:British 'Tactical' Nuclear Operations, 1970-1974 -- 5. The Last Wilson Governments and Strategic Nuclear Deterrence, 1974-1976 -- 6. Nuclear Testing and the Practicalities of Moving Chevaline to Completion, 1974-1976 -- 7. Britain, America and NATO Modernisation, 1974-1976 -- 8. Tactical Nuclear Weapons, Operational Employment and Conventional Defence, 1974-1976 -- Conclusion.

"The Sword and the Shield" reveals for the first time declassified discussions that took place between the British, French and US governments for nuclear cooperation in the early to mid-1970s. In doing so, it sets the scene for the top secret upgrade to Britain's Polaris force, codenamed Chevaline, and how this could have brought down Harold Wilson's Labour government of 1974-1976. It also analyses the evolution of NATO strategy in this period into something that was capable of a flexible response to Warsaw Pact aggression - a response that, if enacted, could well have been apocalyptic.
