Jerusalem is a sacred city for three of the world's greatest religions ~ Islam, Judaism and Christianity ~ and as such it presents the serious problem of how the various religions' shrines are to be protected. At the same time, lying on the Israeli~Jordanian border, it is geographically destined to be caught up in the ongoing Arab~Israeli struggle. The Jerusalem Question; by Eugene Bovis, who for many years was a Foreign Service Officer in the Middle East, addresses just these questions. Bevis points out that there are two basic problems in Jerusalem~control of the city and control of the religious shrines. Until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, Jerusalem had been controlled by Islam for 700 years, and so political control was not a serious question. After 1917, however, the Jerusalem question became deeply immeshed in the ongoing struggle for the control of Palestine. Countless schemes for governing the city ~ internationalizing it, setting up a condominium of Jordan and Israel, and establishing a borough system, to name the major categories~have been suggested, but the problem remains as intractable as ever. Protection of religious shrines is probably an even more critical problem, since it affects beliefs held by hundreds of millions of people who have never set foot in the Middle East. In fact, during the 700 years of Ottoman political control of Jerusalem, the Western nations vied with each other for the right to be protector of the Christian shrines. Innumerable plans proposed during the past half century to protect the shrines and parcel out political control of the city are traced in detail by the author. The book concludes with a presentation of a half dozen possible options that could be taken today. H. Eugene Bovis has been a Foreign Service Officer since 1952, serving in Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt, as well as Washington D.C. He received a Ph.D. from American University, Washington, D.C., and has traveled widely in Europe and the Middle East.

Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [16], 174, [2] pages. Wraps, Formulae. Figures. Map. Tables. Notes. Index., Foreword by Edward Teller. This is Hoover Institution Publication Number 214. The author was a physicist and senior defense analyst at R & D Associates in Marina del Rey, California. He was formerly a consultant to the Air Force, the National Academy of Sciences, and to the Director of Naval Laboratories. Dr. Speed earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of California, Davis/Livermore. This work was supported by the National Fellowship Program of the Hoover Institution. This work provides the most extensive discussion of the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces available at the time in the open literature. It suggests a fundamental change of NATO defense policy and describes a new plan to implement this change. The growth of Soviet military power presented a formidable challenge to the West. If deterrence were to be preserved in the 1980s, serious questions about the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces, arms control, the defense of Western Europe, and U.S. strategic targeting doctrine need to be addressed and resolved. The author addressed these and other issues , offered possible solutions to deal with the threat to U.S. strategic forces, and suggested a new policy to cope with Soviet power in the 1980s. Deterrence theory is the idea that an inferior force, by virtue of the destructive power of the force's weapons, could deter a more powerful adversary, provided that this force could be protected against destruction by a surprise attack. This doctrine gained increased prominence as a military strategy during the Cold War with regard to the use of nuclear weapons and is related to, but distinct from, the concept of Mutual Assured Destruction, which models the preventative nature of full-scale nuclear attack that would devastate both parties in a nuclear war. Deterrence is a strategy intended to dissuade an adversary from taking an action not yet started by means of threat of reprisal, or to prevent them from doing something that another state desires. The strategy is based on the psychological concept of the same name. A credible nuclear deterrent, Bernard Brodie wrote in 1959, must be always at the ready, yet never used. Thomas Schelling's (1966) classic work on deterrence presents the concept that military strategy can no longer be defined as the science of military victory. Instead, it is argued that military strategy was now equally, if not more, the art of coercion, of intimidation and deterrence. Schelling says the capacity to harm another state is now used as a motivating factor for other states to avoid it and influence another state's behavior. To be coercive or deter another state, violence must be anticipated and avoidable by accommodation. It can therefore be summarized that the use of the power to hurt as bargaining power is the foundation of deterrence theory, and is most successful when it is held in reserve.
