hroughout America's Cold War nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, a massive scientific and industrial complex operated virtually without pause to produce a growing and ever-more sophisticated nuclear arsenal. The architects of US nuclear weapons policy planned for every contingency but one -- that the Soviet threat might disappear and the Cold War end.
