Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. 114 pages. The booklet challenges the core military philosophy of Mutually Assired Destruction (MAD) and nuclear deterrence. Dando and Rogers argue that rather than maintaining global stability, the escalation of the arms race fundamentally undermines security. Their primary assertions include:The Inherent Instability of Deterrence: The authors argue that the concept of nuclear deterrence is not a passive, permanent shield, but a volatile system reliant on infallible human logic and perfect technical data?neither of which exist in high-stakes crises.Shift to First-Strike Postures: The booklet details how the race to build increasingly accurate, faster-flying, and low-yield nuclear options encourages "counterforce targeting" (aiming directly at an opponent's nuclear command and arsenals). This technological shift pressures leaders into a dangerous "use them or lose them" mentality, pushing doctrines away from retaliation and toward pre-emptive nuclear first-strikes.The Illusion of Survival: It critiques civil defense measures of the era, arguing that governments mask the true, apocalyptic humanitarian consequences of nuclear war to make the continuation of the arms race politically palatable to the public.
