"This is a brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten
those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate
those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral
attitudinizing."—Gordon A. Craig, New York Times Book Review
"Of great value especially to people who are relative newcomers to
the field . . . it has, like everything of Schelling's, some quite
novel and original ideas."—Bernard Brodie
"Extends his classic Strategy of Conflict to provide timely,
timeless guidance for statecraft."—Graham Allison, author of
Nuclear Terrorism: the Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe
"Tom Schelling is the most significant nuclear strategist of the
past half-century. Arms and Influence was essential reading
for any serious student of the subject throughout the Cold
War. With his new preface and foreword, Schelling demonstrates
that in a world facing the threat of nuclear terrorism and
belligerent states such as North Korea and Iran, his ideas and
examples are vital if we are to continue 'the tradition of non-use'
of these ultimate weapons of devastation."—Michael Nacht,
University of California, Berkeley
"Tom Schelling helped shape the way we think about contemporary
strategy and nuclear weapons. This important book demonstrates
his originality, range, and rigor."—Lawrence Freedman, King's
College London
