Can I recommend Lewis Page's book "Lions, Donkeys and Dinosaurs" which provides an excellent account of how the UK spends so much on "defence" and gets so little capability in return for it.
P.S. you forgot the "independent" deterrent (wholly dependent on America) that makes us so much more secure than Spain, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Holland, Belgium etc.
