Beschreibung
Deterrence depends on control—yet every act of control brings the world closer to the edge.
The most dangerous wars are not the ones fought to the end—but those deliberately held back. Nuclear Thresholds and Limited Escalation Scenarios examines the fragile boundaries that separate conventional conflict from nuclear catastrophe. Through decades of military strategy and diplomatic signaling, experts have defined what “limited” escalation means—yet history shows how easily control can slip. This book traces the evolution of nuclear doctrine from the Cold War to present-day standoffs, revealing how states attempt to manage chaos through careful calibration of threats. A sobering analysis of human decision-making, political brinkmanship, and the razor-thin margins that sustain global stability.
