The Nuclear Trap: An Escape Route is Robert E. Walters’ 1970s reassessment of nuclear strategy, deterrence, ICBMs and Cold War military thinking. Challenging the strategic assumptions built around nuclear weapons and the idea of an impregnable Eurasian “Heartland”, Walters argues for a shift away from static nuclear deterrence toward sea-based power and new geopolitical realities.
