The False Promise of Superiority

This audiobook critically examines the United States' reliance on nuclear weapons and coercive tactics, highlighting the risks and flawed logic behind their presumed effectiveness against nuclear adversaries. Drawing on Cold War strategies and contemporary policies, James H. Lebovic argues that the US approach to nuclear superiority is perilous and unlikely to achieve desired outcomes without dangerous repercussions. The book concludes that US interests are best served by steering clear of nuclear escalation and the temptation to use nuclear weapons coercively.
