Dangerous Ground

In Dangerous Ground, Scott Ritter examines the intertwined history of the U.S. presidency and nuclear weapons over the past six decades, arguing that nuclear arms have come to define multiple aspects of American life. He contends that the United States’ continued reliance on its nuclear stockpile remains the greatest threat to global stability, despite efforts and calls for disarmament. Ritter explores how entrenched beliefs about nuclear security shape U.S. policy and hinder meaningful change in nuclear strategy worldwide.
