Description

On Thermonuclear War is a landmark work that shaped Cold War strategy and remains essential reading for understanding nuclear deterrence and geopolitical balance. Originally controversial for its unflinching analysis of thermonuclear conflict, the book crosses disciplinary boundaries with calm, reasoned arguments about defence, local tensions, and power dynamics. Widely read across both Western and Soviet spheres, it prompted serious revision in military doctrine on both sides and helped prevent catastrophic miscalculation during the nuclear age. The strategic concepts explored-from deterrence theory to conventional conflict management-remain directly applicable to modern geopolitical challenges. This Routledge edition preserves Kahn's rigorous examination of how nations can avoid disaster through clear-eyed strategic thinking, making it invaluable for students of history, military strategy, policy makers, and anyone seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of Cold War stability.

Key Features

On Thermonuclear War presents controversial but reasoned analysis of nuclear strategy that influenced both Western and Soviet military doctrine during the Cold War.

The book explores defence strategy, regional conflicts, and balance-of-power concepts that remain relevant to contemporary geopolitical and security discussions.

Published by Routledge, this edition preserves Kahn's disciplinary-crossing approach to examining thermonuclear conflict and strategic decision-making.

The work helped prevent Cold War disaster by encouraging serious revision of strategic assumptions on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

This military history text serves scholars, policymakers, and strategists studying nuclear deterrence theory and Cold War-era strategic thinking.
