Entering the nuclear age. Atomic diplomacy: from beginning to parity
Counting on nuclear weapons being banned in the
distant future, Robert Oppenheimer, one of their creators, said that if they
were to ever become a part of warring countries’ military arsenal, humanity
would curse both the weapons and their creators. He was mistaken. It turned out
that nuclear weapons could serve both as a means of attack and protection.
Unfolding the dramatic landscape of hidden rivalry between two leading powers
in the anti-Hitler coalition during the Second World War and the new global configuration
after Hiroshima, the author takes us, step by step, back to the roots of the
nuclear arms race. He examines the gigantic, top secret programme in which the
US aimed at being the first to create a weapon of mass destruction to attain
world domination. The book also shows another side to the multi-layered
process, embodied in the efforts of Soviet science and diplomacy during testing
times so as not to give the American project global military and technological
supremacy and to ensure the way towards parity.
For specialists in the field of international relations and a wide circle of
readers interested in this pressing current issue.
