From the ashes of Hiroshima to the dawn of hypersonic missiles, the story of nuclear strategy is one of fear, calculation, and evolving restraint. This book charts the transformation of atomic warfare thinking over eight decades-from the early dominance of massive retaliation to modern concepts of precision deterrence and second-strike assurance. Through declassified strategy papers, diplomatic accounts, and technological milestones, it traces how nations sought stability in a world capable of destroying itself. "From Hiroshima to Hypersonics" contextualizes each phase of the arms race within broader political and moral debates, revealing how science, ideology, and survival intertwined to define modern geopolitics. It is a historical and analytical journey through humanity's uneasy mastery of its most powerful weapon.
