Description:

Since the time of President Roosevelt, American Presidents have been forced to assume the responsibility of confronting this matter. This book examines the choices each president made in handling the threats posed by nuclear weapons. Spanning the entire nuclear era, it cites specific case studies to illustrate the decision making.

Synopsis:

In this important new work, scholar, teacher, and diplomat James E. Goodby analyzes how American presidents have confronted the dilemma of nuclear weapons. Drawing on his own involvement in over fifty years of nuclear policy, he explores specific case studies to illustrate the decision making process and the delicate balance between international cooperation and freedom of action, between the rules of behavior and governmental autonomy.
