Empire of Deterrence

This book examines nuclear deterrence as a form of authority and explores its rise within the Anglosphere amid the shift towards economic and political stasis. It discusses how deterrence influences politics and culture, reflecting a cycle of conflict and affirmation driven by major powers like the US and Britain. Combining Cold War cultural insights with contemporary questions, the book investigates the potential to challenge and rethink the mechanisms of deterrence and its impact on society.
