In this posthumously published volume, she provides an eloquent review and essential update of deterrence theory, focusing a critical eye on nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, examining the lessons of past nuclear crises, and outlining ways in which these lessons apply to major nuclear powers and nuclear pretenders today.
