[A] mind expanding experience. Susanna Schrafstetter and Stephen Twigge have performed a needed service in analyzing the contributions made by Great Britian, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in the struggle to control the bomb... Avoiding Armageddon masterfully transforms the Europeans from merely bit players lurking in the wings of the Cold War to the center stage of world politics. - Journal of Cold War Studies As Americans and Europeans debate global priorities and nuclear terror, this studied history of trans-Atlantic nuclear relations takes on added import. Schrafstetter and Twigge present a sophisticated and readable portrayal of the varied motives of the major powers, the realities of power and influence, and occasionally principled policymaking... Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and beyond. - Choice
