DJ is in a plastic sleeve. This is the Hudson Institute Series on National Security and International Order Number 2. Herman Kahn (February 15, 1922 – July 7, 1983) was a founder of the Hudson Institute and one of the preeminent futurists of the latter part of the twentieth century. He originally came to prominence as a military strategist and systems theorist while employed at the RAND Corporation. He became known for analyzing the likely consequences of nuclear war and recommending ways to improve survivability, making him one of the historical inspirations for the title character of Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy film satire Dr. Strangelove. In his commentary for Fail Safe, director Sidney Lumet remarked that the Professor Groeteschele character is also based on Herman Kahn. Kahn's theories contributed heavily to the development of the nuclear strategy of the United States. More

Index. Eloise Engle is a specialist in military affairs. She has written 30 books, most of which on military history. She is a recipient of the White Rose of Finland, the highest award given to a foreigner. Lauri Paananen, a native of Finland, entered military service in 1939 and served with the Home Guard during the Winter War, surviving at least a dozen bombings of his hometown, Tampere. This account of the 105-day war between Finland and the Soviet Union in the early stages of WWII focuses on the human side, particularly the bravery of the Finns who, despite being outnumbered, fought the Red Army tenaciously and held out longer than expected. The Soviet Union invaded Finland in November 1939 but became bogged down by wintry conditions and Finnish resistance. Finland was finally forced to surrender in March 1940, but not before impressing the world and highlighting the weakness of the Red Army. More
