Cold War architects and the nuclear threat

Philip Taubman’s account connects the legacy of the Cold War nuclear arsenal with the later challenge of preventing nuclear terrorism. It centers on five former Cold War figures and their efforts to reduce the danger posed by weapons they had helped create, placing their work within a broader discussion of nuclear proliferation and security debates in Washington. The book combines political history with analysis of a continuing security concern, tracing how decisions and expertise from an earlier era became part of efforts to address present-day risks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Cold War history and its political legacy
  • Those seeking nonfiction on nuclear security and proliferation
  • Readers interested in the role of former officials in arms-reduction efforts

Book overview

Offering a clear analysis of the danger of nuclear terrorism and how it can be prevented, The Partnership sheds light on one of the most divisive security issues facing Washington today. Award-winning New York Times journalist Philip Taubman illuminates our vulnerability in the face of this pressing terrorist threat--and the unlikely efforts of five key Cold War players to eliminate the nuclear arsenal they helped create. Bob Woodward calls The Partnership a "brilliant, penetrating study of nuclear threats, present and past," and David Kennedy writes that it is "indispensable reading for all who would understand the desperate urgency of containing the menace of nuclear proliferation."
