Los Alamos Science No. 17, 1989
National Security Issue
| This volume, published prior to the end of the Cold War, reports on a national security conference aimed at predicting the future of nuclear weapons. While the participants did not predict the demise of the Soviet Union, they did foresee the more limited role for nuclear weapons in the US military posture, the increased emphasis on conventional warfare, and the rise of Japan and China. The increased reliance on conventional weapons predicted in this volume became explicit US policy in 2002 following the Nuclear Posture Review. |
