The future of nuclear weapons and nuclear strategy in the 21st century is not entirely predictable from the Cold War past.

The author of this book contrasts the Cold War and post-Cold War environments for the pursuit of military advantage through nuclear deterrence and warns against complacent acceptance of nuclear weapons spread.

Stephen Cimbala argues that deterrence characteristics of the pre-Cold War period will in the 21st century again become normative.

Focuses on the evolution of nuclear weapons as components of US military strategy and arms control, by contrasting their roles in the early and later information ages.

Although many U.S. military planners and policy makers appear to place their faith in technology as the sine qua non of success in security and defense policy, technology can be self defeating and myopic if political and strategic vision are lacking.

Cimbala analyzes military persuasion-the art of using armed force to support diplomacy, deterrence, crisis management, unconventional conflicts, peace operations, and other military activities short of major conventional war.
