Description

Explore the complex history of nuclear diplomacy in The Winning Weapon - The Atomic Bomb in the Cold War, 1945-1950. This Princeton Legacy Library edition examines why American diplomats attempted to use the atomic bomb as a strategic advantage during negotiations with the Soviet Union. The text details how these policies faced failure during the 1948 Berlin crisis and explores the domestic tension between the State Department and scientists advocating for international nuclear cooperation. Originally published in 1988, this volume is part of a distinguished backlist made available through modern print-on-demand technology. It provides a detailed look at the early years of the Cold War and the struggle to manage nuclear power on a global scale.
