Content:
The Cold War provoked an intense debate about the nature of rationality among scientists in the US. Facing a world apparently close to thermonuclear destruction, economists, political scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, military strategists, mathematicians, & computer scientists sought ever more reliable rational safeguards to tame the arsenals of bombs and missiles ordered by the politicians, built by the physicists & engineers, and tended by the generals. This book follows the debates over Cold Rationality as they unfolded in in post-war America, and ultimately unravelled.
