DescriptionThe Evolution of Nuclear Strategy quickly established itself as a classic when it first appeared in 1981.
This edition makes it even better, incorporating as it does new material about the Cold War and up-dating to include subsequent developments.
Filled with insights and penetrating analysis, this volume is truly indispensable.
--Robert Jervis, Author of How Statesmen Think Freedman and Michaels have written a thorough and thought-provoking guide to nuclear strategy.
The authors analyze the causes of both wise and unwise strategic decisions in the past and thereby shine a bright light on dilemmas we face in our common nuclear future.
--Scott Sagan, Stanford University, USA With its comprehensive coverage, clear and direct language, and judicious summaries of a vast literature, this new and wholly revised edition of The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy will be essential reading for any student of nuclear history, strategic studies, or contemporary international relations.
--Matthew Jones, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK Sir Lawrence Freedman's The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy has been the first port of call for three generations of academics and policy-makers wanting to familiarize themselves with the subject matter.
The success of this book could have led Professor Freedman to satisfy himself with regular updates or afterwords.
But the tireless author is now gracing us with an entirely revised edition of his masterpiece nearly forty years after its initial publication, taking into account findings from archives and declassified documents.
At the same time, The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy remains true to its original purpose and spirit: an easy to read manual, light with footnotes, focusing on policy rather than on theory, and thus the best possible introduction to an arcane subject.
In an era when nuclear strategy issues seem to be becoming relevant again, its historical scope and breadth will make its reading or re-reading even.
