Summary: | A decade of humanitarian interventions, followed by another of counterinsurgency, has further distanced the military and the nation's civilian leadership from the world of nuclear weapons, operationally and intellectually. Warren Kozak writes in LeMay: The Life and Wars of Gen- eral Curtis LeMay that when Gen. Curtis LeMay joined the ticket as the vice presidential candidate in 1968, he embarrassed the Wallace campaign when he remarked on the American people's "phobia" about the use of nuclear weapons. |
