It was an almost unheard of concept at that time because both superpowers had Nuclear Arsenals. One could never think of a war occurring between them without nukes coming into play. Yep, that’s escalation for you, once one side knows it’s losing it will always bring the bigger guns out. Still, they were able to devise a plot that would make this scenario convincingly possible and would therefore result in the book being a best-seller.

Is this an advertisement for a 25 year-old book?
