Brad Roberts Military History Books hardcover sku-45968754

Brad Roberts, sku-45968754. Listed under Military History Books, The Case for U.S. Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century is a hardcover that challenges calls for the United States to reduce the role and number of its nuclear weapons.

Roberts argues that historical, political and moral cases for disarmament have not adequately considered U.S. efforts since the Cold War to adapt deterrence and create conditions for further policy changes. Drawing on his experience making and implementing U.S. policy in the Obama administration, he concludes that other nuclear-armed states are not prepared to make reductions alongside the United States and that further unilateral disarmament would harm U.S. and allied interests.

He advocates a balanced strategy combining political efforts to reduce nuclear dangers with military deterrence, pursued with patience and persistence.
