About this book
Reviews
"There has never been a documented history of the origins of nuclear strategy. Never, that is, until now. Johnston's account of these events which helped shape the contemporary world order is both striking and persuasive. He writes better than a political scientist and thinks harder than a historian. A great achievement."
- Erik Ringmar, Department of Government, LSE
"Andrew Johnston has written an innovative work that challenges existing
interpretations of NATO's adoption of a first-use policy regarding
nuclear weapons. He brings an impressive intellect and subtle
understanding of the new theoretical literature combined with strong
archival research to increase understanding of a very significant
topic."
- Shane J. Maddock, Associate Professor of History, Stonehill College
"This is a seriously smart book. Sophisticated and subtle, Hegemony and Culture sets on their ears all previous interpretations of NATOs strategic posture during the 1950s. More than that, its cultural approach has far-reaching implications for how political scientists and historians of the Cold War think about their subjects and do their work. Thoroughly researched, deeply imaginative in its interpretation, and written with admirable clarity (and obvious enthusiasm), Hegemony and Culture is a theoretical tour de force and a major contribution to the literature of international history."
- Andrew J. Rotter, Professor of History, Colgate University and author of Comrades at Odds: The United States and India, 1947-1964
