Five Myths About Nuclear Weapons Wilson Ward by Wilson Ward 9780547857879, 054785787X instant download after payment.

Here’s something we haven’t seen for a while: a book about nuclear
weapons that isn’t designed to make us quiver in terror or run about in
a mad panic. Wilson’s intent is just the opposite: he wants to make us
feel better about the presence of nuclear weapons. How? By showing us
that some of the most commonly held beliefs about them are actually
misconceptions. For example—this is the author’s myth number one—the
notion that nuclear weapons “shock and awe” opponents. The prime example
of the awesome power of nuclear weapons is, of course, the surrender of
Japan after the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But, as Wilson very
convincingly explains, Japan’s surrender had less to do with the
bombings and a lot more to do with a neutrality pact with the Soviet
Union that was just about to expire. Another myth identified here is the
time-honored belief that nuclear deterrence works in a crisis, but,
again, taking the most commonly known incident, the Cuban missile
crisis, the author points out that neither President Kennedy nor Soviet
Union premier Nikita Khrushchev behaved like he was deterred by the
possibility of nuclear war. This slim, persuasively argued, tightly
written book provides much food for thought and could make some readers
radically change their perceptions about nuclear weapons.
