Description

Nuclear War and Nuclear Peace explores the far-reaching impact of nuclear weapons on international relations and global politics. This comprehensive study delves into the fundamental principles of nuclear strategy, revealing its influence on world events and the need for a nuanced understanding of modern strategy.

The book examines key issues such as deterrence, surprise, preemptive and preventative attack, quantities of nuclear weapons, limitations of war, and proliferation. Harkabi also discusses alternative global approaches, coalitions in the nuclear era, disarmament, arms control, peace in the shadow of terror, and stability of the international system.

By considering both technical and broader implications, Nuclear War and Nuclear Peace provides a valuable introduction to modern strategy for both scholars and laymen. The book's relevance is underscored by its focus on current global issues and the need for informed discussion on nuclear strategy and disarmament.
