Tempting Fate
Author: Paul C. Avey
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501740393
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Unpacking of the dynamics of conflict under conditions of nuclear monopoly, Paul C. Avey argues in Tempting Fate that the costs and benefits of using nuclear weapons create openings that weak nonnuclear actors can exploit. Avey uses four case studies to show the key strategies available to nonnuclear states: Iraqi decision-making under Saddam Hussein in confrontations with the United States; Egyptian leaders' thinking about the Israeli nuclear arsenal during wars in 1969–70 and 1973; Chinese confrontations with the United States in 1950, 1954, and 1958; and a dispute that never escalated to war, the Soviet-United States tensions between 1946 and 1948 that culminated in the Berlin Blockade. Strategies employed include limiting the scope of the conflict, holding chemical and biological weapons in reserve, seeking outside support, and leveraging international non-use norms. Avey demonstrates clearly that nuclear weapons cast a definite but limited shadow, and while the world continues to face various nuclear challenges, understanding conflict in nuclear monopoly will remain a pressing concern for analysts and policymakers. Thanks to generous funding from Virginia Tech and its participation in TOME, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes, available from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Ragnarök has been fought and the entire Galaxy has been destroyed. We were promised that a new realm would be created for the surviving gods to occupy, so that Life could return.

He creates a new being, William, and instills the Light within him to give him strength as he ventures into the wasteland that remains in the wake of the Galactic apocalypse. His task is to find a way to redeem existence so that a new Galaxy can be created to support Life. The Darkness that dominates the wasteland will do everything it can to try to kill William, but he finds a few unlikely allies along the way to aid him on his journey. The trials he must face would break any ordinary man, but William’s Father comes to his aid in times of weakness and he presses on, hoping he will be able to unravel the Divine Mysteries and piece together a new theology that will promote peace and harmony to prevent another Ragnarök from ever happening. The struggle between the Darkness and Light is as ancient as the Universe, but can all this fighting be brought to an end?
