You know how people dig throwback jerseys?

I was surprised when I saw the cover the Bob Zarate’s edited volume on Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter, Nuclear Heuristics. It’s a throwback cover, directly referencing Roberta Wohlstetter’s classic, Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision.

Of course, the cover photo for Pearl Harbor shows the US fleet as a smoking ruin; the cover of Nuclear Heuristics shows Albert and Roberta. Not sure if that is some comment on their marriage or what.

(Actually, I am looking at my life size copy. The fleet might not be a smoking ruin — the picture is grainy. Maybe that’s just my dominant image of Pearl Harbor, which my mind’s eye imposed.)

Anyway, you can download the whole thing from the Strategic Studies Institute.

You can also see bibliographies of Albert and Roberta’s published works, etc. at Bob’s site, Albert Wohlstetter.com.
