Avoiding a nuclear war, or ending one if avoidance fails, is an
important but relatively unexplored aspect of nuclear doctrine. Dr.
Abt examines the feasibility of antagonists' agreeing to exclude
their open cities from nuclear targeting and to replace strategic
bombardment with retaliatory invasion to create less of a
hair[1]trigger deterrent. Critical net assessments by U.S.
strategists and the effects of such a strategy on the Soviet Union
and on U.S. allies are considered, along with problems
implementation might pose. The author contends that both deterrence
and the potential for limiting damage are strengthened by pre-war
plans for a nuclear ceasefire and stalemate short of holocaust.
