Description

Explore the complex dynamics of conflict in On Escalation: Metaphors and Scenarios. In this influential work from Routledge, Herman Kahn examines how the intensification of conflict functions through a specific escalation ladder. As opponents climb this ladder, they move closer to the possibility of all-out war, making critical decisions at every stage. Kahn explains that while thermonuclear annihilation is unlikely to occur by accident, nations can make choices that lead them toward extinction. This book provides a deep look into the choices made at each rung of the ladder, ranging from obvious decisions to those that are much harder to see. It serves as a foundational text for understanding how conflict progresses and the potential outcomes of strategic escalation decisions.
