Some strategic implications of the nuclear revolution

Expert InsightsPublished 1957

A discourse on such aspects of the nuclear revolution as its decisiveness, the effect of its development, and the employment of massive retaliation and graduated deterrence. The author concludes that we must follow a path of enlightened self-interest to avoid the piecemeal surrender of the things we value or the kind of a war that destroys them at once. (Presented before the Institute of World Affairs at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, May 1957, and published in pamphlet form as International Study, Paper No. 1.)
