In this posthumously published volume, she provides an eloquent review and essential update of deterrence theory, focusing a critical eye on nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, examining the lessons of past nuclear crises, and outlining ways in which these lessons apply to major nuclear powers and nuclear pretenders today.

Great book. Analyzes deterence from a very neutral point of view, raising a lot of issues as to why we have nukes at all and whether they are really good for anything. Very informative and very easy to read without going into a lot of esoteric strategic thought that most people would not understand.
