I finished this book at a painfully difficult time in world history. After invading Ukraine, Russian forces are leveling that country, backed by a Russian president who aspires to redraw state boundaries across Europe. With his threats to escalate beyond conventional force use, a nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia remains a realistic possibility. These developments test much of what we know, or think we know, about nuclear deterrence and the robustness of the international order that grew from the wreckage of the last world war. As history unfolds, I hope that readers can dismiss these claims as the alarmist fears of an author who was too close to events to view them in appropriate perspective.
