Book excerpt: After a brief interlude following the Cold War, nuclear weapons have regained their prominent place in world affairs. Yet our current nuclear age will not be a replay of the Cold War. New technologies, changing political contexts and the death of old arms-control agreements mean that today's nuclear strategists have to navigate unchartered waters filled with fresh perils. Unfortunately, the consequences of failure in the nuclear world can be catastrophic. The immediate imperative today is to lower the possibility of nuclear weapons use during a crisis or conflict involving nuclear powers. While deliberate or pre-emptive nuclear use is less likely, the rising danger of our time is that nuclear weapons will be employed due to some combination of miscommunication, misjudgment, misperception and sheer accident. The Sheathed Sword: From Nuclear Brink to No First Use is a collection of essays by leading scholars and practitioners on the role of nuclear weapons in global security. The contributors examine how individual states view nuclear weapons, the devastating effects of nuclear war on the world's climate and the issues around nuclear no first use. They also debate the feasibility and desirability of a global no-first-use (GNFU) agreement.

Book excerpt: After a brief post-Cold War interlude, nuclear weapons have returned to their prominent place in world affairs. Yet our current nuclear age will not be a replay of the Cold War. New technologies, changing political contexts, and the death of old arms control agreements mean that today's nuclear strategists have to navigate unchartered waters filled with fresh perils. Unfortunately, in the nuclear world, the consequences of failure can be catastrophic. The immediate imperative today is to lower the possibility of nuclear weapons use during a crisis or conflict involving nuclear powers. While deliberate or pre-emptive nuclear use is less likely, the rising danger of our time is that nuclear weapons will be employed due to some combination of miscommunication, misjudgment, misperception and sheer accident. We argue that if all nuclear weapons powers were to adopt no-first-use policies, these dangers would become much more manageable. How can such a global agreement on no-first-use be reached? After all, states often have very different ideas about how they can deter each other. Leading scholars and practitioners also have different perceptions about the implications of new technologies on nuclear weapons, on whether coercion works, and where the greatest sources of danger lie. Section I looks at the role of nuclear weapons in global security Section II examines the literature on nuclear coercion and consider the devastating effects of a limited nuclear war on the world's climate. Section III looks at the issues around no first use. Section IV is a series of studies of how individual states view nuclear weapons and the desirability of a GNFU agreement.

Book excerpt: “Intrigue runs high and suspense cloaks all” in a fantasy adventure of pirates and Nazis from the New York Times–bestselling author and SFWA Grand Master (Kirkus Reviews). V-E Day and V-J Day are in the past, but the war is not over. Not for Lorens van Norreys, the new master of the House of Norreys, not as long as Nazi criminals are still at large. And not for Lawrence Kane and Sam Marusaki, two former OSS men, not as long as there are Americans still missing in action. The three of them quickly become entangled in a mystery—Norreys as he searches for a lost treasure, and Lawrence and Marusaki as they search for a lost American flyer. Together they face cutthroat pirates in the thousand islands of Indonesia, then they battle an unknown foe on an island known as the Forbidden Place, an uncharted landfill mentioned only in legends and from which, it’s said, not one has ever returned alive.
