oct 25, 1951 - Winston Churchill becomes the British Prime Minister...again

Description:

"Churchill, once again British PM, had only a few years earlier encouraged the Americans to provoke a military confrontation with the Soviet Union while their atomic monopoly remained in place. But now, in the aftermath of BRAVO, he completely reversed this position, pointing out to his wartime ally Eisenhower that only a few such explosions on British soil would leave his country uninhabitable." (Gaddis 2006, p. 65)
