Arsenals Of Folly by Richard Rhodes
The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race
A detailed narrative of the Cold War nuclear arms race that examines how political miscalculation, bureaucratic rivalries, military doctrine and rapid technological advances drove the United States and the Soviet Union to build vast stockpiles of deadly weapons; following politicians, generals, scientists and diplomats through tests, crises and close calls, the book shows how fear and momentum escalated the danger of global catastrophe and how intelligence, public pressure and diplomatic negotiation eventually created openings for limited arms-control measures.
