Strategic Command and Control

Explore the critical insights of Bruce G. Blair in his thought-provoking work, Strategic Command and Control, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 1985. This comprehensive study spans 356 pages and delves into the intricacies of mutual deterrence, force strength, and survivability in the context of military strategy.

Blair rigorously examines the prevalent assumptions surrounding these themes, ultimately concluding that vulnerabilities in command, control, and communications systems could undermine effective retaliatory capabilities. This vulnerability, he argues, may unintentionally create conditions conducive to a preemptive first strike, particularly from adversarial forces such as the Soviet Union during the Cold War era.
