Publisher's note

Many scholars and much conventional wisdom assumes that nuclear deterrence has prevented major power war since the end of the Second World War; this remains a principal tenet of US strategic policy today. Others challenge this assumption, and argue that major war would have been "obsolete" even without the bomb. This book tests these propositions by examining the careers of ten leading Cold War statesmen -- Truman, John Foster Dulles, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Stalin, Krushchev, Mao Zedong, Churchill, De Gaulle, and Adenauer -- and asking whether they viewed war, and its acceptability, differently after the advent of the bomb.
