The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy: New, Updated and Completely Revised

摘要

Updating the classic 1981 work on the history of the thinking about the role of nuclear weapons, the Kings College London duo of Lawrence Freedman and Jeffrey Michaels have produced a new, comprehensive, and nuanced overview of military and diplomatic thinking about the role of nuclear weapons from the beginning of the nuclear age to the present day. This edition, which substantially reworks earlier editions, covers-in 678 pages-a vast range of developments and debates over the role of nuclear weapons, and unique problems they present.
