5.0 out of 5 starsA vitally important book on nuclear weapons and American foreign policy
By Thomas A. Schwartz on July 7, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is one of those rare books which successfully integrates extensive historical research with sharp insights into the policy process. Gavin has written a succinct history of the nuclear age that takes issue with much of the conventional wisdom and has important implications for current nuclear-related questions such as Iran and North Korea. I recommend it enthusiastically.

4.0 out of 5 starsRefreshing but issues involved
By Gaëlle Browning on September 25, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Francis Gavin brings about a new look to the nuclear age, the Cold War, and what has happened since. He contradicts what theorists have been saying for the past 70 years, and what he says does have stitches of truth but I believe he pulls them out too far.

5.0 out of 5 starsHistory and Strategy in America's Atomic Age
By Vlad on November 28, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Excellent analytical work from the period of the Cold War. A critical look at this period, which does not always correspond to the well-established assessments. Good work, I enjoyed it. Francis J. Gavin's name is a guarantee of quality.
