OverviewHow do international systems deal with the threat and use of weapons of war? In this sophisticated yet accessible analysis, a leading strategic analyst takes readers deep into twentieth century history to answer this question. Weapons of mass destruction, and the counter threat of retaliation, have been central concerns in strategic decision-making in World War I, the legacy of World War II, and the Cold War era. Few people can traverse issues of global conflict with more historical insight than George Quester. He argues for the retention of appropriate weapons systems, but also for care in when they are used. Offensive weapons may well become an option in response to non-state terrorist groups or even state-sponsored terrorist acts. The concerns discussed here will be on the global political agenda for years to come.
