Despite not having been used in anger since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Bomb is still the biggest threat that faces us in the 21st century. As Bill Clinton's first secretary of defence, Les Aspin, aptly put it: 'The Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is no more. But the post-Cold War world is decidedly not post-nuclear'. For all the effort to reduce nuclear stockpiles to zero, it seems that the Bomb is here to stay. This Very Short Introduction reveals why. The history, and politics of the bomb are explained: from the technology of nuclear weapons, to the revolutionary implications of the H-bomb, and the politics of nuclear deterrence. The issues are set against a backdrop of the changing international landscape, from the early days of development, through the Cold War, to the present-day controversy of George W. Bush's National Missile Defence, and the threat and role of nuclear weapons in the so-called Age of Terror. Joseph M. Siracusa provides a comprehensive, accessible, and at times chilling overview of the most deadly weapon ever invented.

圖書標籤: VSI 牛津通識讀本 核武器 War 英文原版 軍事學 Oxford
比較專業的圖書,寫作風格鐵鐵的學術範。我原以為這本書中心是江核武器的工作及製作原理,涉及核物理及化學知識。但實際上本書以美蘇冷戰為綫索,主要以核武器軍備競賽與防禦係統的改造為敘述對象。適閤軍事愛好者以及對冷戰曆史感興趣的。警告,專業術語很多,文章在多數人看來略枯燥,但是讀多瞭對英語專業寫作可能有幫助。
評分縱嚮是從二戰到冷戰以及恐怖主義存在的當代核政策的轉變過程,橫嚮是各國的核武研發以及部署的方式。從感性認識核武之強力,到理性認識核武“隻是恫嚇膽小者”,正如封麵配色一樣,核武陰影雖不過去,但總有曙光。
