Forbidden Wars proposes to explain why no nuclear weapon has been
fired in anger since 1945, why no nuclear weapon has ever been
detonated by accident, why terrorists have made no serious attempt
to acquire nuclear weapons, and why the Cold War between the United
States and the Soviet Union never broke out into a real war. All of
these remarkable non-events flow from a set of unwritten but
compelling rules for war-making that appeared spontaneously after
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki-along with a taboo
against any further use of nuclear weapons-which have so far been
universally respected. The most important effect of these rules is
that every nation with a nuclear arsenal is virtually immune to
attack by the armed forces of any other nation. The same rules seem
to explain the global spread of insurgencies and the successes and
failures of the non-proliferation regime. These developments are
not the result of a conventional understanding of nuclear
deterrence, but instead are based on the well-documented history of
armed conflict in the world during the past sixty years. Forbidden
Wars presents a unique insight that casts new light on America's
foreign policy.
