The author describes the impact of nuclear weapons on strategic thought. This is a discussion of the movement in the West towards reliance on nuclear weapons to deter Soviet aggression post World war II, and the major problem of credibility that arose as soon as the Soviet union developed its own nuclear capability. The book examines in detail a succession of attempts to improve the credibility of nuclear strategy. A scarce, collectible edition.
