The first book to study post-Cold War U.S. nuclear weapons policy.
It is based on extensive original research with dozens of the key
players, and sheds important new light US foreign policy. "Nuclear
Inertia" examines why, despite the Cold War having ended more than
ten years ago, the US still maintains an arsenal of over 10 000
nuclear warheads. Most explanations for this are to be found not in
the structure of the international system but in domestic politics.
Tom Sauer ascribes the lack of change to bureaucratic resistance,
dogmatic thinking and lack of political leadership. Clinton tried
to change US policy by initiating the 1993-1994 Nuclear Posture
Review but was blocked by bureaucratic opposition. Sauer suggests
that this points to a lack of civilian control over the military
during the Clinton administration.
