The decade of the 1990's ushered in an astonishing round of unilateral and bilateral nuclear arms reduction. While the dissolution of the Soviet Union has greatly reduced the possibility of global nuclear war, it has also increased third world instability, conflict, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The book begins with a historical look at the role nuclear weapons have played in U.S. defense policy since 1945, reviews current unclassified guidance and the spectrum of public opinion on where the U.S. should be going with its nuclear weapon programs and then surveys the potential threat of weapons of mass destruction. The author's recommendations address a broad range of issues that focus on developing a coherent nuclear strategy.
