Using a number of recent conflicts such as Cuba, Korea, and Indochina, Halperin develops a theory of how and why nations use limited means to settle disputes when they possess infinitely greater means of destruction.

"Cold War competition and tensions caused numerous armed conflicts after World War II, but the threat of atomic and nuclear weapons shaped the conduct of those wars and ensured they remained limited. Because the existence of nuclear weapons created the possibility of a small crisis escalating into a vast nuclear exchange, the superpowers sought to deter their use."--Preface

The strategy of limited war has transformed the American approach to the use of force and played a key role in U.S. foreign policy since World War II. As the mainstay of containment it was designed to deter and fight wars effectively at a tolerable cost and risk in the nuclear age by providing the United States with a flexible and controlled response to a variety of military threats. The strategy met a severe challenge in the Vietnam war; it has nevertheless continued to prevail as a doctrine, if not necessarily with its former utility, by adapting to the changing domestic and international environment after Vietnam. Robert E. Osgood critically examines the success, ambiguities, and flaws of the strategy in its expanding application to postwar military policy. He interprets its impact on the Vietnam war and vice versa, extends his analysis to the new challenges posed by changes in technology and the military balance that affect U.S. security, and concludes with a searching inquiry into the problems of limited war where its utility as an instrument of foreign policy is now most in doubt: the Third World.

"This book covers a lot of ground -- from the stirrings of the 'new physics' early in the century to events of June 1988, notably the last meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, and Mr. Gorbachev's special conference of the Soviet Communist party some days later. In between came crises, confrontations, negotiations and even a few arguments, I have tried to relate much of that and to describe the historic effect of nuclear weapons on relations between adversaries, as well as the singular effects of these weapons on relations between allies"--Page xi.

Halperin that explores the concept of limited war in international relations. The book is divided into two parts - the first part provides an in-depth analysis of the development of the theory of limited war, while the second part presents an annotated bibliography of key works on the subject.The first part of the book delves into the historical and political context that led to the development of the theory of limited war. Halperin examines the various factors that contributed to the emergence of this concept, including the changing nature of warfare, the role of nuclear weapons, and the influence of international law and norms. He also explores the different approaches to limited war that have been proposed by scholars and policymakers over the years, and assesses their strengths and weaknesses.The second part of the book is a comprehensive annotated bibliography of key works on limited war. Halperin provides summaries and critical evaluations of each work, highlighting their main arguments and contributions to the field. The bibliography covers a wide range of topics, including the causes and consequences of limited war, the role of diplomacy and negotiation, and the ethical and legal implications of using force in international relations.Overall, ""Limited War: An Essay On The Development Of The Theory And An Annotated Bibliography"" is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and students interested in the theory and practice of limited war. Halperin's insightful analysis and comprehensive bibliography provide a thorough understanding of this important concept in international relations.From Occasional Papers In International Affairs, No. 3, May, 1962.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Just as we generally pay scant attention to the potential dangers of nuclear power and nuclear war, until quite recently, scholars have made limited critical attempts to understand the cultural manifestations of the nuclear status quo. Films that feature nuclear issues most often simplify and trivialize the subject. They also convey a sense of the ambivalence and anxiety that pervades cultural responses to our nuclear capability. The production of popular narrative films with nuclear topics largely conforms to periods of heightened nuclear awareness or fear, such as the fear of fallout from nuclear testing manifested in the atomic creatures in science fiction movies of the late 1950s. By their very numbers, and through a set of recurring stylistic and narrative conventions, nuclear films reflect a deep-seated cultural anxiety. This study includes detailed textual analysis of films that depict nuclear issues including the development and use of the first atomic bombs, nuclear testing and the fear of fallout, nuclear power, the Cold War arms race, loose nukes, and future nuclear war and its aftermath.(Includes bibliographic references, index, filmography, choronology; Illustrated)
