Atomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Since 1940
Stephen I. Schwartz
Since 1945, the United States has manufactured and deployed more than 70,000 nuclear weapons to deter and if necessary fight a nuclear war. Some observers believe the absence of a third world war confirms that these weapons were a prudent and cost-effective response to the uncertainty and fear surrounding the Soviet Union's military and political ambitions during the cold war.
