This book examines how nuclear deterrence has actually functioned in global politics — not just how theory suggests it should. Coleman and Siracusa draw on archival materials and international scholarship to trace deterrence strategies from the Cold War to the present, exploring issues such as how many nuclear weapons suffice, what deters aggression, extended deterrence for allies, proliferation, and the political, technical, and psychological factors shaping nuclear policy.
