In The Fragile Balance of Terror, the foremost experts on nuclear
policy and strategy offer insight into an era rife with more
nuclear powers. Some of these new powers suffer domestic
instability, others are led by pathological personalist dictators,
and many are situated in highly unstable regions of the world—a
volatile mix of variables. The increasing fragility of deterrence
in the twenty-first century is created by a confluence of forces:
military technologies that create vulnerable arsenals, a novel
information ecosystem that rapidly transmits both information and
misinformation, nuclear rivalries that include three or more
nuclear powers, and dictatorial decision making that encourages
rash choices. The nuclear threats posed by India, Pakistan,
Iran, and North Korea are thus fraught with danger. The Fragile
Balance of Terror, edited by Vipin Narang and Scott D.
Sagan, brings together a diverse collection of rigorous and
creative scholars who analyze how the nuclear landscape is changing
for the worse. Scholars, pundits, and policymakers who think
that the spread of nuclear weapons can create stable forms of
nuclear deterrence in the future will be forced to think again.
