Examines both methodological and theoretical issues surrounding four themes: crisis decision-making, domestic political pressures to go to war, negotiations patterns and processes, and the role and effects of deterrence strategy. Pacific Research [A] thorough study. The Friday Review Will be adopted widely. Excellent themes. Impressive essays. Michael Fry, University of Southern California Not only valuable for an upper-level undergraduate course on nuclear doctrine, but also for an introductory course on international politics which stresses theoretical approaches to the subject. The essays are all excellent summaries of their respective fields of inquiry. David S. Sorenson, Denison University Long overdue...Topical, insightful, and thought provoking. It will bring a much-needed depth to the study of the impact of nuclear weapons on the conduct of international relations. Clinton G. Hewan, Northern Kentucky University A useful addition to the list of texts available to teach a course on nuclear and security issues. I definitely plan to use the book and recommend it to others. Nitish K Dutt, University of Northern Texas An excellent sociological account of contemporary nuclear issues. Antony Sloan, Bowlins Green State University Truly looks unique. Gary J. Buckley, Northern Arizona University Excellent articles at a professional level. M. Roskin, Lycoming College Excellent essays. John Vasquez, Rutgers University
