| Description: |
Drawing on previously classified material, this book is a history of the proliferation of nuclear weapons at the beginning of the Cold War. It shows how American policymakers, and least of all President Truman, never expected nuclear weapons to play such a major strategic role. |
| Synopsis: |
The United States took almost a decade after Hiroshima and Nagasaki to develop a coherent strategy of nuclear deterrence. This comprehensive study by two careful and well-informed historians provides the best explanation we have of why this process took so long; it also suggests the inherent difficulties of relying on nuclear weapons to provide security in the first place. Required reading for anyone interested in the early history of the nuclear era. |
