The book on Thermo-Nuclear War was written by :

  • A.Herman Kahn
  • B.Robert Kaplan
  • C.Henry Kissinger
  • D.Lawrence Freedman

Answer: A

The book was written by Herman Kahn.

Herman Kahn, a RAND Corporation strategist, published On Thermonuclear War in 1960. It argued that nuclear war was possible to think about, plan for and survive, analysing deterrence, escalation and civil defence in cold detail. It was hugely controversial, and Kahn later developed his escalation ladder in On Escalation (1965).

Robert Kaplan is a journalist on geopolitics, Henry Kissinger wrote Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy (1957), and Lawrence Freedman wrote The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy, a history of the subject.
