The Nuclear Revolution

Exploring the profound impact of nuclear weapons on international relations, the book compares the nuclear era to historical conflicts, such as the Soviet-American arms race and the Anglo-German naval rivalry. It examines how nuclear armaments have shifted power dynamics, alliances, and leadership behavior, alongside comparisons to Napoleon's military strategies and World War I's industrial warfare. The analysis also distinguishes nuclear weapons from other forms of mass destruction and concludes with reflections on the pervasive influence of nuclear threat on daily life, drawing from history, religion, and psychology.
