The Second Nuclear Age: Strategy, Danger, and the New Power Politics by Paul Bracken

3.0

I wouldn't say that Bracken is a Pollyanna on the subject of the future of nuclear weapons, but he makes a compelling argument that whether we love the bomb or not, we'll be living with it for the foreseeable future, and if we don't think about what that means for our engagements with other nations then we're likely to find ourselves making major decision at times of crisis. The recent nuclear arms agreement with Iran might change some of the calculations a bit, but much of what's discussed is as relevant now as it was at the time of publication.
