The Nuclear Club
Stanford University Press (Verlag)
978-1-5036-3630-9 (ISBN)
International society, the Cold War, and the imperial U.S. presidency were reformed from 1945 to 1970, when a global nuclear order was inaugurated, averting conflict in the industrial North and yielding what George Orwell styled a "peace that is no peace" everywhere else. Today the nuclear order legitimizes foreign intervention worldwide, empowering the nuclear club and, above all, the United States, to push sanctions and even preventive war against atomic outlaws, all in humanity's name.
Jonathan Hunt is Assistant Professor of Strategy at the United States Air War College.
