This book is a history of the complex relations between scientific
advisors, primarily physicists, and U.S. presidents in their role
as decision makers about nuclear weapons and military strategy. The
story, unsurprisingly, is one of considerable tension between the
"experts" and the politicians, as scientists seek to influence
policy and presidents alternate between accepting their advice and
resisting or even ignoring it. First published in 1992, the book
has been brought up to date to include the experiences of science
advisors to President Clinton. In addition, the texts of eleven
crucial documents, from the Einstein-Szilard letter to President
Roosevelt (1939) to the announcement of the Strategic Defense
Initiative by President Reagan (1983), have been added as
appendixes.
