Moving Targets

by Scott D. Sagan

In what Stanley Hoffmann, writing in The New York Review of Books , has called a "fine analysis and critique of American targeting policies," Sagan looks more at the operational side of nuclear strategy than previous analysts have done, seeking to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

[Patrick Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic overview of US nuclear strategy and analysis of the goals, paradoxes and fears of nuclear deterrence. Sagan makes convincing arguments for us to rethink targeting, ABM efforts, and arms negotiations in order to strengthen our deterrent, better signal intent and ward off mistakes.
