N2  - Despite the disappearance of a superpower nuclear enemy and changes in the size and composition of nuclear forces brought about since 1991, the fundamental rationales and planning principles that informed US nuclear policy for decades remain in place. The author traces the effort to articulate a post-Cold War nuclear doctrine through decisions made in the Bush and Clinton administrations, focusing on the leadership styles of presidents, bureaucratic politics and broad foreign policy objectives
