Josef Joffe in Foreign Affairs: Less than Zero
FSI Stanford Op-ed: Foreign AffairsPrevious attempts at total nuclear disarmament have failed, as strategic logic and state interest have prevailed over wishful thinking, write Josef Joffe, FSI senior fellow, Abramovitz Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and editor of Die Zeit, and James W.
