This thesis analyzes the government's new nuclear strategy with respect to the development of low-yield nuclear weapons.

These historical factors, when overlaid with the FAS analysis of the 2002 NPR, show how the development of low-yield nuclear weapons affects the decision to use nuclear weapons.
