Summary
Given debates surrounding the emerging "new Cold War," this book provides a much needed revisit into the US foreign policy nuclear domain during the 1945-1990 period. Across nine chapters, the monograph traces the United States nuclear diplomacy and Presidential strategic thought, transitioning across the early period of Cold War arms racing through to the eras defining conclusion. It reveals that despite the heightened periods when great power conflict seemed imminent, arms control fora and seminal agreements were able to be devised and implemented, providing a needed base in improving bilateral relationsas well as momentarily bringing down the specter of a cataclysmic nuclear war. Aiden Warren, Associate Professor of International Relations, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Joseph M. Siracusa, Professor of Political History and International Security, School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry, Curtin University, Perth, Australia
