Nuclear Weapons and the Cold War. Evolution of Modern Warfare. Lesson 12
Description
This Program from the Combat Studies Institute is designed to give military instructors ideas on presenting "Nuclear Weapons and the Cold War," lesson 12 in "Evolution of Modern Warfare." It offers suggestions for how to present the Cold War context, thinking on nuclear strategy and deterrence, and the post-WWII reorganization of the military and national security apparatus. Panelists show how the existence of nuclear weapons led to questions of whether the army has a continued role, and whether to prepare for limited war. Discussion of the Cold War context takes us through competing theories resulting from U.S. efforts to understand the motives behind Soviet expansion, and the evolution of our theory and strategy regarding our relationship with the USSR. Emphasis is on ongoing evolution both of the Cold War and of resulting military and nuclear strategy.
