Nuclear Ethics

<b>Joseph S. Nye presents an analysis of issues of nuclear ethics and a coherent positional between the black and white extremes of nuclear advocacy and nuclear abolition.</b> <p/><i>Nuclear Ethics </i>argues that the strategy of deterrence must remain conditional. Outlining a just-defense doctrine for the nuclear age Nye provides a sensitive moral compass for policy choices and offers a sense of hope for the future. <p/>Not only an excellent treatise on moral philosophy addressed to the complex issues of nuclear war but also an important introduction to these very issues. - <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>
