Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [16], 174, [2] pages. Wraps, Formulae. Figures. Map. Tables. Notes. Index., Foreword by Edward Teller. This is Hoover Institution Publication Number 214. The author was a physicist and senior defense analyst at R & D Associates in Marina del Rey, California. He was formerly a consultant to the Air Force, the National Academy of Sciences, and to the Director of Naval Laboratories. Dr. Speed earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of California, Davis/Livermore. This work was supported by the National Fellowship Program of the Hoover Institution. This work provides the most extensive discussion of the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces available at the time in the open literature. It suggests a fundamental change of NATO defense policy and describes a new plan to implement this change. The growth of Soviet military power presented a formidable challenge to the West. If deterrence were to be preserved in the 1980s, serious questions about the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces, arms control, the defense of Western Europe, and U.S. strategic targeting doctrine need to be addressed and resolved. The author addressed these and other issues , offered possible solutions to deal with the threat to U.S. strategic forces, and suggested a new policy to cope with Soviet power in the 1980s. Deterrence theory is the idea that an inferior force, by virtue of the destructive power of the force's weapons, could deter a more powerful adversary, provided that this force could be protected against destruction by a surprise attack. This doctrine gained increased prominence as a military strategy during the Cold War with regard to the use of nuclear weapons and is related to, but distinct from, the concept of Mutual Assured Destruction, which models the preventative nature of full-scale nuclear attack that would devastate both parties in a nuclear war. Deterrence is a strategy intended to dissuade an adversary from taking an action not yet started by means of threat of reprisal, or to prevent them from doing something that another state desires. The strategy is based on the psychological concept of the same name. A credible nuclear deterrent, Bernard Brodie wrote in 1959, must be always at the ready, yet never used. Thomas Schelling's (1966) classic work on deterrence presents the concept that military strategy can no longer be defined as the science of military victory. Instead, it is argued that military strategy was now equally, if not more, the art of coercion, of intimidation and deterrence. Schelling says the capacity to harm another state is now used as a motivating factor for other states to avoid it and influence another state's behavior. To be coercive or deter another state, violence must be anticipated and avoidable by accommodation. It can therefore be summarized that the use of the power to hurt as bargaining power is the foundation of deterrence theory, and is most successful when it is held in reserve.

Among the contributors are: Serge Schmemann, Bryan Hebir, Willing Swing, Raymond Jeanloz, Lucy Shapiro, Elizabeth Holmes, Christopher Stubbs, James Ellis, James Mattis, David Holloway, and James Goodby. Among the issues raised were: Environmental Effects, Nuclear War, Infectious Disease, Disruptive Technologies, Ethics, and Moral Reasoning. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. He was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell-Yan process is partially named for him. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1949. He co-authored the textbooks Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Quantum Fields with James Bjorken. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was an expert in nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, diplomat, and businessman. He is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts. He played a major role in shaping the Reagan Administration's foreign policy. Andrei Sakharov holds an honored place in the pantheon of the world's greatest scientists, reformers, and champions of human rights. But his embrace of human rights did not come through a sudden conversion; he came to it in stages. Drawing from a 2014 Hoover Institution conference focused on Sakharov's life and principles, this book tells the compelling story of his metamorphosis from a distinguished physical scientist into a courageous, outspoken dissident humanitarian voice. His extraordinary life saw him go from playing the leading role in designing and building the most powerful thermonuclear weapon (the so-called hydrogen bomb) ever exploded to demanding an end to the testing of such weapons and their eventual elimination. The essays detail his transformation, as he appealed first to his scientific colleagues abroad and then to mankind at large, for solidarity in resolving the growing threats to human survival, many of which stemmed from science and technology. Ultimately, the distinguished contributors show how the work and thinking of this eminent Russian nuclear physicist and courageous human rights campaigner can help find solutions to the nuclear threats of today.

He was an expert in the field of nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. He was a Senior Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution. He was a trustee Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. James E. Goodby has served in the US Foreign Service, achieving the rank of Career Minister, and was appointed to five ambassadorial-rank positions by Presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. Ambassador Goodby has worked with former Secretary of State George Shultz at Hoover since 2007. He is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He was a Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1989 to 1999 and is now a professor emeritus. During his Foreign Service career he was involved as a negotiator or as a policy adviser in the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the negotiation of the limited nuclear test ban treaty, START, the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, and cooperative threat reduction (the Nunn-Lugar program). Goodby is the author and editor of several books. With Sidney Drell he wrote The Gravest Danger: Nuclear Weapons and the essay A World without Nuclear Weapons: End-State Issues. Goodby coedited Reykjavik Revisited: Steps toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (Hoover Institution Press, 2008) and contributed essays to Reykjavik Revisited and Implications of the Reykjavik Summit on Its Twentieth Anniversary. The mortal danger of nuclear weapons is unique in its terrifying potential for devastation on an unprecedented and unimaginable scale. In this book, Sidney D. Drell and James E. Goodby, each with more than twenty years' experience in national security issues both in public and private capacities, review the main policy issues surrounding nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. They address the specific actions that the community of nations, with American leadership, should take to confront and turn back the nuclear danger that imperils humanity. The nuclear genie, say the authors, cannot be put back in the bottle. Our most urgent task as a nation today is to successfully manage, contain, and reduce the grave danger of nuclear weapons, whether in the hands of adversaries or friendly states. This book hopes to stimulate active public dialogue on this important subject.

Joseph Douglass, Jr., Ph.D. was an author, teacher and internationally recognized authority on U.S.-Soviet relations and subsequent geopolitical strategies and conflicts. During his career, Dr. Douglass was sought out for his research, knowledge and expertise on the strategies and tactics of the U.S.S.R. during the Cold War and also for his interviews revealing facts about the fate of thousands U.S. military personnel listed as missing in action and prisoners of war during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Dr. Douglas taught at Cornell as well as The Johns Hopkins University, and the Navy Postgraduate School. He also worked at the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Dr. Douglass was best known for two books that he wrote following a long debriefing of Mr. Jan Sejna, the highest-ranking Communist defector to the United States. Those books, Red Cocaine, the Drugging of America, and Betrayed, the story of MIAs and POWs from several U.S. wars, are considered by some experts to contain breakthrough information on international drug strategies and the illegal detention and experimentation on MIAs and POWs based on evidence gained from interviews. Other books include Soviet Strategy for Nuclear War Soviet Military Strategy in Europe, Conventional War and Escalation: The Soviet View, Decision- Making in Communist Countries, Why the Soviets Violate Arms Control Treaties, and The Soviet Theater Nuclear Offensive. Amoretta M. Hoeber is an experienced authority with a demonstrated history of working successfully in the Defense and National Security communities. She has technical expertise in nuclear, chemical and biological defense. She is killed in Crisis Management, Government Procurement, Emergency Management, Intelligence, and Operational Planning. She is a former Deputy Under Secretary of the U.S. Army. Foreword by Eugene V. Rostow. This is one of the Hoover International Studies (Richard F. Staar, general editor). What the Douglass-Hoeber study reveals is how the Soviet Union is using and planning to use its growing military power, both convention and strategic, as an instrument of imperial expansion. Includes chapters on the Soviet view of nuclear war, Soviet warfighting objectives, phases of the war in Soviet military thought, and strategic force targeting and employment strategy. The following is derived from a 2016 review by Angelo M. Codevilla published by the Hoover Institution: The Soviet view of nuclear war has never been readily available to American audiences. The Soviet military expressed its thoughts on the subject in voluminous professional literature. Most of it was classified. Few American researchers possessed the language skills and the inclination to sort through it. This book, now rare, is one of the few that presented the Soviet viewpoint in its own terms. The Soviet military lived in an intellectual/moral world substantially different from that of the Americans. Reading their writings, one is impressed by their high professional self-regard. They were the heirs of Napoleon's key insight: massive concentrations of artillery at the point of attack. These men had torn apart the Wehrmacht in no small measure by superior concentrations of firepower at key times and places. Whoever might speculate on how the Soviets might have fought a nuclear war could do worse than to study the opening phase of the Soviet 1944 Vistula/Oder offensive and imagining the substitution of nuclear for conventional explosives.

Vladislav Krasnov (born February 24, 1937) is a Russian and American scholar and writer. While his scholarly works were published with his name spelled as Vladislav Krasnov, his social and political commentary appears under the name W. George Krasnow. During his US academic career, Vladislav Krasnov obtained a Master's degree in Slavic languages and a Ph.D. in Russian literature from University of Washington (1974). He taught and conducted research at University of Texas, Austin, Southern Methodist University, Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 1985, Vladislav Krasnov published a book which, according to Peter Reddaway, became the first scholarly study of the phenomenon of "defection" from the Soviet Union. The work summarized several years of research he conducted at Hoover institution using a variety of sources. The most important source for his work was the document he nicknamed "The KGB Wanted List": an internal KGB publication containing a list of some 600 defectors then at large, summarizing the information the Soviet authorities had on each personâs background, circumstances of their defection, their then-current whereabouts and activities, as well as the information about any in absentia sentences they may have received. The publication had been leaked to the émigré magazine Posev, an organ of the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists. The leaked KGB files were supplemented by a number of other sources, such as records of interviews with a number of defectors conducted by US officials in the 1950s, and materials gleaned from the media. The collected materials allowed Krasnov to conduct a detailed statistical analysis of the phenomenon of defection throughout the four post-World War II decades. In his work Vladislav Krasnov also analyzed the attitudes of the American authorities (or the authorities of US allies) toward defectors, or potential defectors. He decried the not too uncommon actions of the US authorities choosing to discourage, or sometimes forcibly expel Soviet sailors, deserters, diplomats, etc. who wanted to "choose freedom". While the cause célèbre of the 1970s was the Simonas Kudirka affair, Krasnov publicized a number of other violations of the non-refoulement principle; as he noted, the authorities too often were guided by the motives of diplomatic expedience or immediate benefits to the US intelligence rather than by humanitarian principles or ideals of freedom. As an example, he contrasted the star treatment of Lt. Viktor Belenko, who flew a valuable MiG-25 fighter to Japan with that of First Lt. Valentin Zosimov, who flew to Iran in an An-2 "crop duster", and was promptly deported back to the USSR and a long prison sentence. Derived from a Kirkus review: Krasnov, himself a defector, is head of Russian Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. From this position, he developed a curiosity about his fellow defectors that resulted in this current study. The first half turns the KGB's own records against it. Krasnov had found a list issued periodically by the KGB that included all defectors prior to 1969 (he determined its validity by the accuracy of information therein concerning his own case). Following that, he depended upon basic news sources to fill out the list with post-1969 defectors. Krasnov breaks down defectors based upon sex (only 19% are women), age (average age is 28.56), ethnic origin (almost 62% are either Russian or Ukrainian), education (53.3% have no higher than a seventh-grade education), profession (over half held "low prestige jobs," while only 12.6% are intellectuals), and country of defection (57% of all defectors go to West Germany or Austr.

In 1988, he became a resident scholar at Stanford University's Hoover Institution first as a national fellow, then a visiting scholar, and most recently a research fellow there and at The Independent Institute. He went on leave from Hoover to serve as Assistant Secretary for the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development in the United States Department of Education during 2007-2009. During the 1970s and '80s, Evers was involved in the libertarian movement in the United States and the Libertarian Party specifically. In 1980, he was the Libertarian Party candidate for Congress in the 12th Congressional District of California. In the late 1990s, Evers began to work in the Republican Party, serving on George W. Bush's transition team after the 2000 election and acting as a Bush adviser in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns and as a McCain adviser in 2008." Very good in very good dust jacket.

George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, businessman, diplomat and statesman. He served in various positions under three different Republican presidents and is one of the only two persons to have held four different Cabinet-level posts, the other being Elliot Richardson. Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. He accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. James Eugene Goodby (born December 20, 1929) is an author and former American diplomat. He became a Foreign Service Officer and remained in the Foreign Service until his retirement in 1989. Drawn from the third in a series of conferences the Hoover Institution at Stanford University on the nuclear legacy of the cold war, this report examines the importance of deterrence, from its critical function in the cold war to its current role. Recognizing that today's international environment is radically different from that which it was during the cold war, the need is pressing to reassess the role of nuclear weapons in deterrence in the world of today and to look ahead to the future. Among the topics addressed are: Deterrence, Nuclear Weapons, Decision-making, Arms Control, Verification, Compliance, and Enforcement.

Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He served on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers. He served as Richard Nixon's Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. He accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Shultz pushed for Reagan to establish relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which led to a thaw between the United States and the Soviet Union. Shultz retired from public office in 1989 but remained active. He served as an informal adviser to George W. Bush and helped formulate the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert.

This work was sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the National Threat Initiative. A typed note is laid in, indicating that this copy was provided on behalf of Dr. Drell. This study's purpose is to stimulate further discussion and analysis, at both the conceptual and practical levels. For purposes of this study, we assume that the end state will be reached through successive stages of nuclear reductions that resemble the following: 1. The United States and Russia reduce to low numbers (200-500) operationally deployed warheads and bombs of all types; France, China, and the United Kingdom accept ceilings at less than 200; and India, Pakistan, and Israel freeze at then-current levels (assumed not to exceed approximately 100). 2. Each nuclear-armed state reduces deployed warheads to zero and non-deployed warheads to no more than 200, after which each nuclear-armed state might reduce the latter category to an interim number of 50-100 apiece. A variant could have a mix of 50-100 operationally deployed or declared reserve warheads retained by each state while all other warheads are eliminated. 3. Finally, each nuclear-armed state reduces warheads to zero while retaining monitored reconstitution capabilities within agreed parameters and for a period of agreed duration. Although those numbers are hypothetical, they provide a framework for examining key security issues that the United States and other nations will face as they approach and enter the end state.
