Assessing Soviet Nuclear Capability

Synopsis: The US intelligence community has come to rely increasingly on sophisticated technology to assess Soviet nuclear capabilities. The interpretation of data by the different branches of the intelligence community often leads, in the view of critics, to conflicting information being fed to policy makers. This inter-service rivalry, plus the fear that intelligence will become less reliable as weaponry becomes more sophisticated, forms the focus for the programme.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
