The Case for U.S. Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century
Book • 2015
This book challenges prevailing disarmament arguments by analyzing post-Cold War U.S.
nuclear policy implementation.
Roberts contends that unilateral nuclear reductions would harm U.S.
interests and allies, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach combining political efforts to reduce nuclear dangers with military deterrence.
The work introduces frameworks like 'three zones of deterrence' (gray, red, and black/white) and examines adversary 'theories of victory' to argue for maintaining robust nuclear capabilities as war-fighting instruments when necessary.
