Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bernard Brodie presented a comprehensive critique of the New Look in his book "The Absolute Weapon", in which he argued that the emphasis on nuclear deterrence would actually make the US less secure by increasing the likelihood of nuclear war, and that the US needed to maintain a balanced military posture that included conventional forces. While Maxwell Taylor, Herman Kahn, and Henry Kissinger all made significant contributions to the strategic debates of the Cold War, none of them presented critiques of the New Look that were as in-depth or influential as Brodie's.
