Gives a history of thinking about nuclear military strategy and, seeking lessons, briefly examines the one occasion when the world came very close to nuclear war - the Cuban missile crisis. Looks at the social and political functions that war has performed in the past and speculates about how those functions might be served without war. Finally, suggests a series of steps, including an interim nuclear military strategy that might make it easier for mankind to find a way to work toward a world without war of any kind.
