"Cold War"

More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument that the United States, rather than the Soviet Union, aggressively pursued military and scientific superiority during the Cold War. It details key developments, such as the U.S. atomic bomb test in 1945 and subsequent advancements in nuclear technology, including thermonuclear devices and cluster warheads. The narrative highlights the U.S.'s strategic reliance on nuclear deterrence and blackmail, while also noting how the USSR's response to these threats helped it maintain independence amidst escalating tensions.
