Deterrent or Defense: A Fresh Look at the West's Military Position is a book written by B.H. Liddell Hart, a renowned military strategist and historian. The book provides a critical analysis of the military position of the West during the Cold War era, with a focus on the balance between deterrence and defense. Hart argues that the West's military strategy during this period was primarily focused on deterrence, rather than defense. He suggests that this approach was flawed, as it relied heavily on the threat of nuclear weapons and did not adequately address the potential for conventional warfare. The book examines the strengths and weaknesses of the West's military forces, including their ability to respond to a potential Soviet invasion of Europe. Hart also explores the impact of technological advancements on military strategy, such as the development of nuclear weapons and the increasing use of air power. Throughout the book, Hart emphasizes the importance of a balanced military strategy that incorporates both deterrence and defense. He argues that a strong defense is necessary to prevent aggression and maintain stability, while deterrence should be used as a last resort. Overall, Deterrent or Defense offers a thought-provoking analysis of the West's military position during the Cold War era, and provides valuable insights into the ongoing debate over military strategy and national defense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
