About this book

Although there is much discussion about nations' general policies for nuclear war, most American know little about the actual war plans of the United States and its allies and adversaries. This collection of essays by thirteen academic and professional strategists seeks to close this gap by addressing the basic issues of nuclear targeting policy: the targets to be attacked, the timing of those attacks, and the intended impact of the targeting strategy.
