The Controversy Over Counterforce.
Abstract
The report compares the arguments of an important proponent of counterforce, Herman Kahn, and one of its leading critics, Michael Brower. After examining the various arguments the conclusion is reached that neither total counterforce nor no counterforce is the best policy, but rather some intermediate quantity of counterforce. Therefore it attacks the 'counterforce' vs. 'minimum deterrence' dichotomy. (Author)
