| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The parameters of the discussion about nuclear weapons are well
known and appear to be relatively fixed. It seems as if there has
been little new on that front in forty years. Most civilian scholars
have lost interest in nuclear weapons and moved on to other topics. But
it is the habit of the military mind to learn from the past; even today
there are lessons to be learned from Cannae, Waterloo, and Vicksburg.
It will not surprise thoughtful military officers to find that the past has
something important and interesting to tell us about nuclear weapons. |
