Annotation Focuses on the way in which military capabilities, real or imagined, are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Publisher Description In this landmark book, Nobel laureate Thomas C. Schelling considers the ways in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used as bargaining power. This edition contains a new foreword by the author where he considers the book's relevance over forty years after its first publication. Included as an afterword is the text of Professor Schelling's Nobel acceptance speech in which he reflects upon the global taboo that has emerged against nuclear weapons since Hiroshima.

It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing."—Gordon A.
