Russian Strategic Modernization

Book by N. N. Sokov, Russian Strategic Modernization Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Russian Strategic Modernization books, This unique analysis of Soviet and Russian defense affairs provides an authoritative and thoroughly documented assessment from a former Soviet foreign policy insider. As an active and informed participant, Sokov's discussion of the evolution of the Soviet and Russian strategic posture offers fascinating and illuminating firsthand insights into Soviet weapons systems, elite decisionmaking, and bureaucratic politics during both the Soviet and Russian periods. The book thus casts light not merely on the development of the Soviet ICBM and SLBM programs, but on a much broader spectrum of issues linked to Soviet and Russian security policy formulation. With its combination of informed analysis and use of new documentation, this work will be invaluable for all concerned with U.S.-Russian strategic relations.

The Kremlin S Nuclear Sword

Book by Steven J. Zaloga, The Kremlin S Nuclear Sword Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Kremlin S Nuclear Sword books, The prevailing Western view of Russia’s Cold War strategic nuclear weapons policy is that it resulted from a two-part interplay between the leaders of the Communist Party and the military. Steven J. Zaloga has found that a third contributor—the Russian defense industry—also played a vital role. Drawing from elusive Russian source material and interviews with many proud Russian and Ukrainian engineers, Zaloga presents a definitive account of Russia’s strategic forces, who built them, and why. The book is the first in English to refer to the weapons by their actual Soviet names, providing the bedrock for future works. Helpful appendices list U.S., NATO, and other designations, and the illustrations provide clear visual references.

Future Roles Of U S Nuclear Forces

Book by Glenn C. Buchan, Future Roles Of U S Nuclear Forces Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Future Roles Of U S Nuclear Forces books, This study examines the possible roles of nuclear weapons in contemporary U.S. national security policy. The United States has a range of nuclear strategies and postures among which to choose: from abolition of U.S. nuclear weapons, aggressive reductions and "dealerting," "business as usual, only smaller," more aggressive nuclear posture, to nuclear emphasis. The nation should have the operational flexibility to in fact use a modest number of nuclear weapons if the need were overwhelming and other options were inadequate.

Strategic Threats And National Missile Defenses

Book by Anthony H. Cordesman, Strategic Threats And National Missile Defenses Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Strategic Threats And National Missile Defenses books, Rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea may be able to build weapons of mass destruction in as little as five years. Proliferation poses a broad range of threats to the United States, our allies, and our coalition partners. The potential of intercontinental missiles--armed with nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons--is a serious danger to the American homeland. Cordesman argues that an effective defense against these threats will require linking a national missile defense program to an ambitious counterproliferation strategy, a strengthened homeland defense program, and a realistic approach to arms control and national security options.
