This book critically examines U.S. attempts to establish a nuclear
deterrent against the Soviet Union and offers new approaches to
dealing with the changing strategic environment. Dr. Payne
maintains that the most influential theories of nuclear
deterrence--Assured Vulnerability and Flexible Targeting-are
unrealistic, given Soviet foreign policy and attitudes toward
nuclear war, and no longer adequately meet the requirements of U.S.
national security. Identifying an approach compatible with U.S.
security commitments, he argues that future U.S. policy should
focus on defeating the "Soviet theory of victory"--on threatening
Soviet military forces and domestic and external political control
assets, while also defending the U.S. against nuclear attack. The
discussion covers recent developments, among them the "new nuclear
strategy" of the Carter administration and President Reagan's new
weapons program.
