More about the book
The book explores the reconfiguration of U.S. military doctrine in response to perceived threats from regional powers seeking advanced weaponry. Gupta critiques this strategy, likening it to Cold War-era responses that focused on intentions rather than actual capabilities, leading to an arms race. He argues that perpetuating these pathologies hinders opportunities for collaboration and peace. Through an in-depth analysis of the weapons acquisition processes in India, Israel, and Brazil, Gupta assesses the potential roles these regional powers could play in the evolving international landscape.
