Publisher Synopsis
-This [reissue of Kahn's On Thermonuclear War and On Escalation] could not come at a better time. Human nature has not made much moral progress since the end of the Third Reich but its very worst instinct for total destruction has, so far, been held at bay by the certainty of self-destruction. We need someone to remind us again of how to think about the unthinkable.- -- Mark Safranski, zenpundit.com "This [reissue of Kahn's On Thermonuclear War and On Escalation] could not come at a better time.
