In “On Nuclear War: Deterrence, Escalation, and Control” (Military and Strategic Affairs, December 2012), Professor Stephen Cimbala discusses various reasons for the failure of nuclear deterrence and expresses doubts about deterrence for several reasons. These include decisions (by the target of deterrence) that are not based on cost-benefit analysis; irrationality; and misunderstandings.
