Reviews

""In this very timely work, Sean Maloney argues persuasively that Putin’s reign of power in Russia has been characterized by a new way of nuclear deterrence signaling that it is woven together with advancements in information technology. This period, which the author terms the “Cool War,” extends to the present day. To back up his argument, Sean takes the reader through a history of nuclear and conventional signaling up to the eve of the current Ukraine crisis. Readers interested in deterrance, nuclear operations, U.S.-Russian relations, and the Russo-Ukrainian War would all benefit from reading this book.""—Melvin Deaile, Director of the School of Advanced Nuclear Deterrence Studies, USAF Air Command and Staff College
