Traditionally, Americans have
viewed war as an alternative to diplomacy, and military strategy as the science
of victory. Today, however, in our world of nuclear weapons, military power is
not so much exercised as threatened.
Thomas C. Schelling
says, bargaining power, and the exploitation of this power, for good or evil,
to preserve peace or to threaten war, is diplomacy — the diplomacy of
violence.
The author concentrates in this book on the way in which
military capabilities — real or imagined — are used, skillfully or clumsily, as
bargaining power. He sees the steps taken by the US during the Berlin and Cuban
crises as not merely preparations for engagement, but as signals to an enemy,
with reports from the adversary’s own military intelligence as our most
important diplomatic communications.
