This book is a counter to the conventional wisdom that the United
States can and should do more to reduce both the role of nuclear
weapons in its security strategies and the number of weapons in its
arsenal. The case against nuclear weapons has been made on many
grounds-including historical, political, and moral. But, Brad
Roberts argues, it has not so far been informed by the experience
of the United States since the Cold War in trying to adapt
deterrence to a changed world, and to create the conditions that
would allow further significant changes to U.S. nuclear policy and
posture. Drawing on the author's experience in the making and
implementation of U.S. policy in the Obama administration, this
book examines that real world experience and finds important
lessons for the disarmament enterprise. Central conclusions of the
work are that other nuclear-armed states are not prepared to join
the United States in making reductions, and that unilateral steps
by the United States to disarm further would be harmful to its
interests and those of its allies. The book ultimately argues in
favor of patience and persistence in the implementation of a
balanced approach to nuclear strategy that encompasses political
efforts to reduce nuclear dangers along with military efforts to
deter them.
