O knihe

With Russian officials and political leaders explicitly threatening the use of tactical nuclear weapons in their war with Ukraine, it is worth re-examining the lessons learned about tactical nuclear weapons during the Cold War. This illuminating report on the proposed use of tactical nuclear weapons in Southeast Asia was written in 1967 by a four-man team from the JASON scientific advisory committee, including Freeman J. Dyson. This groundbreaking work examines the potential consequences had tactical nuclear weapons been utilized during the Vietnam War. It examines a range of topics including arms control, targeting strategies, and the potential effects of nuclear war on civilian populations. The authors take a comprehensive approach to their subject matter and provide valuable insights into how these weapons could have been used in Southeast Asia had they been available. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complex nature of tactical nuclear weapons as well as their potential consequences in modern warfare. It provides a fascinating look at one of history's most explosive topics and offers important lessons for today's conflicts involving TNWs. Most notably, much larger numbers of warhead uses would be required than most modern commentators are even imagining. The reason is that tactical military units are small, well dispersed, and difficult to target. The JASON team found an estimate of 10 weapons/day, or 3000 year, to be plausible.
