There is a growing distance between experts and the public on the subject of nuclear strategy; this reader sets the terms for an effective public debate on the issue. It provides the significant essays and excerpts from longer works, from Berbard Brodie and Herman Kahn to Henry Kissinger and Fred Ikle, that have charted the development of American nuclear strategy. Each section is introduced by an essay outlining the major events of the period and relating the excerpts to them. It ends with questions for study and analaysis with suggested further reading.
