Strategic defenses and arms control

This book explores the critical intersection of strategic defenses and arms control, delving into the historical context and policy implications. It examines how nuclear energy has been viewed as both a climate solution and an economic catalyst, alongside efforts to resist its adoption. The text traces the genesis and promotion of key concepts by Alvin Weinberg and his contemporaries, arguing that these ideas shaped marginal politics and government policy through civil defense measures and arms control negotiations.
