Nuclear Deterrence in the 21st Century: Lessons from the Cold War for a New Era of Strategic Piracy - Softcover
Synopsis
Thérèse Delpech was one of France’s—and the world’s—most serious and respected scholars of nuclear weapons, strategy, and policy. In this posthumously published volume, she provides an eloquent review and essential update of deterrence theory, focusing a critical eye on nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, examining the lessons of past nuclear crises, and outlining ways in which these lessons apply to major nuclear powers and nuclear pretenders today.
