Date 21 May 2021, 12.00pm
Preparing for a war which many observers regarded as ‘beyond the imagination’ presented a number of practical and conceptual difficulties for the Army, with few intellectual reference points to inform its thinking about the unthinkable.
In this online talk, Dr Moody will explore how the British Army structured its thinking about nuclear combat, how nuclear war was taught at the Staff College, and the evolution of its nuclear war-fighting doctrine. He will be in conversation with Dr Peter Johnston, lead curator of the National Army Museum’s exhibition ‘Foe to Friend: The British Army in Germany since 1945’.
Dr Simon J Moody is a Lecturer in Defence Studies at King’s College London. He has taught for a number of years at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, and has published widely on the history of strategic thought, nuclear strategy, and British defence policy. His recent book, ‘Imagining Nuclear War in the British Army, 1945-1989’, was published by Oxford University Press in 2020.
It will be available afterwards on the NAM youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/NationalArmyMuseumUK
