SOME STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE NUCLEAR REVOLUTUUTION,

Abstract

The discussion is concerned with the problems involved in the use of nuclear weapons in limited warfare. The conclusion states: ...'In order to make work at all anything as arbitrary and forced as limitations upon war are likely to be, it would seem that one major requirement is that transgressions or violations be very easy to recognize and very difficult to deny. This is not to say that we may not use nuclear weapons in limited war; it only underlines the problem of finding out how we can use them without thereby signaling the abandonment of restraints.'
