<p>A comprehensive analysis that thrusts Jervis into the front ranks of nuclear essayists.</p>

Kirkus Reviews

<p>A masterful book by one of America's preeminent strategists.... What the nuclear revolution has done is magnify in force and compress in time imperatives that were present in the pre-nuclear era; even the pursuit of unlimited victory was unrealistic. Jervis takes us through those implications in prose so lucid we feel we have known them all along.</p>

Foreign Affairs

Robert Jervis argues here that the possibility of nuclear war has created a revolution in military strategy and international relations. He examines how the potential for nuclear Armageddon has changed the meaning of war, the psychology of statesmanship, and the formulation of military policy by the superpowers.
