Leading analysts have predicted for decades that Nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics.
By explaining how the Nuclear Revolution falls short, Lieber and Press discover answers to the most pressing questions about deterrence in the coming decades: how much capability is required for a reliable Nuclear deterrent, how conventional conflicts may become Nuclear wars, and how great care is required now to prevent new technology from ushering in an age of Nuclear instability..
