NPIHP Partner Dima Adamsky published an article in the latest issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.

Using newly-available historical sources, Adamsky suggests that the severity of the conflict stemmed from the US deterrence strategy of the time and offers a new mechanism for evaluating the effectiveness of deterrence.
