Synopsis
This authoritative volume offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the American nuclear arsenal and its central role in today's era of strategic competition. Learning to Love the Bomb: Understanding the American Nuclear Arsenal brings together leading experts and former practitioners to examine how nuclear deterrence functions, why it remains essential, and what challenges lie ahead. Organized into four thematic sections (building, deploying, assessing, and sustaining the arsenal), the book explains the science of nuclear weapons, explores the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. triad, and assesses the capabilities and doctrines of adversaries such as China, Russia, and North Korea. With detailed chapters on bombers, submarines, ICBMs, and command-and-control systems, the volume clarifies how the United States maintains strategic stability and deters aggression. It also considers the broader geopolitical context, including the erosion of the post-Cold War international order and the emergence of a multipolar world shaped by autocratic powers. Written in accessible language but grounded in deep expertise, Learning to Love the Bomb demystifies nuclear deterrence and dispels common misconceptions, offering readers a realistic framework for understanding both policy and practice. Ideal for national security professionals, military educators, policy analysts, and students of international affairs, this timely book underscores why sustaining a credible nuclear deterrent remains critical to US defense strategy and to the preservation of global peace.
*This book is in the Rapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series (General Editor: Thomas G. Mahnken; Founding Editor: Geoffrey R.H. Burn)
