Edited by Donald G. Brennan under the sponsorship of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, this landmark anthology brings together leading strategists, scholars, and policymakers to confront the central crisis of the twentieth century: how nations armed with weapons of mass destruction can negotiate a survivable peace. The volume presents rigorous analyses of deterrence theory, the mechanics of arms limitation treaties, and the strategic calculus that governs superpower rivalry, offering a panoramic survey of the intellectual battleground on which Cold War policy was forged.\n\nBrennan's editorial vision unifies a diverse range of voices into a coherent and urgent argument — that rational, structured disarmament is not idealism but strategic necessity. The collection stands as a foundational text in the fields of international relations and security studies, illustrating how academic inquiry can directly shape the corridors of power. Its contributors dissect the paradoxes of military preparedness with a precision that remains as unsettling as it is illuminating, leaving the reader to wonder whether the lessons so carefully assembled here were ever truly heeded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203184697563,"sku":"2026200015023-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/aa98d962-550b-4bab-b332-db508cbbb5f4.png?v=1788145132","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015023-secondhand-arms-control-disarmament-and-national-security","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
