This book is about the future of nuclear weapons, geopolitics, and
strategy. It examines the legacy of nuclear weapons on US thinking
about some concepts of strategy and geopolitics, namely deterrence,
extended deterrence, alliances, and arms control. The purpose of
this is to demonstrate just how fundamentally nuclear weapons have
influenced American thinking about these concepts. It argues that,
given the extent of nuclear weapons' influence on these concepts
and the implications for international security, further reductions
beyond current Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) levels, and
the more absolute idea of nuclear disarmament, may not necessarily
be prudent ideas. Nuclear weapons have contributed to the avoidance
of major war between states, made alliances more credible and last
longer, and have made arms control relatively easier to
conceptualize and manage. As such, the author argues, these
concepts may become even more difficult to manage in a world where
nuclear weapons are marginalized.
