Defending the Arsenal (eBook, ePUB)

Why America's Nuclear Modernization Still Matters
Redaktion: Lowther, Adam B.; Cimbala, Stephen J.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume takes an unashamed pro-nuclear modernization position and argues for designing and fielding new nuclear warheads and delivery systems (submarine, ICBM, and bomber) while also arguing against signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty or agreeing to further reductions in the nuclear arsenal. It also argues that nuclear deterrence remains as relevant today, perhaps more, than it was during the Cold War.
