Lebovic explores the logic of seeking peace in an arms race. \u003ci\u003eFlawed Logics\u003c\/i\u003e offers a compelling intellectual history of U.S.-Russian strategic nuclear arms control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLebovic thoroughly reviews the critical role of ideas and assumptions in U.S. arms control debates, tying them to controversies over U.S. nuclear strategy from the birth of the atomic age to the present. Each nuclear arms treaty--from the Truman to the Obama administration--is assessed in depth and the positions of proponents and opponents are systematically presented, discussed, and critiqued. Lebovic concludes that the terms of these treaties with the Russians were never as good as U.S. proponents claimed nor as bad as opponents feared. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe comprehensive analysis in \u003ci\u003eFlawed Logics\u003c\/i\u003e is objective and balanced, challenging the logic of hawks and doves, Democrats and Republicans, and theorists of all schools with equal vigor. Lebovic's controversial argument will promote debate as to the very plausibility of arms control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames H.
