Thomas C. Schelling
In this landmark book, Nobel laureate Thomas C. Schelling considers the ways in which military capabilitiesâ€”real or imaginedâ€”are used as bargaining power.Â  This edition contains a new foreword by the author where he considers the bookâ€™s relevance over forty years after its first publication.Â  Included as an afterword is the text of Professor Schellingâ€™s Nobel acceptance speech in which he reflects upon the global taboo that has emerged against nuclear weapons since Hiroshima.,"This is a brilliant and hardheaded book.Â  It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing."â€”Gordon A.
