💎 Thomas B. Cochran U.S. Nuclear Forces and Capabilities

Written by Thomas B. Cochran, William M. Arkin and Milton M. Hoenig, the volume provides an exceptionally detailed survey of American nuclear forces, strategic bombers, ballistic missiles, submarine-launched weapons, command structures and military capabilities. Based entirely on publicly available information, it became a standard reference for researchers, historians, defence analysts and policy specialists.

Richly illustrated with maps, diagrams, photographs and statistical tables, this first volume remains an important historical source on Cold War nuclear strategy and military planning.
