A comprehensive analysis that thrusts Jervis into the front ranks of nuclear essayists.(Kirkus Reviews) A masterful book by one of America's preeminent strategists.... What the nuclear revolution has done is magnify in force and compress in time imperatives that were present in the pre-nuclear era; even the pursuit of unlimited victory was unrealistic. Jervis takes us through those implications in prose so lucid we feel we have known them all along.(Foreign Affairs)
