Description: On Thermonuclear War by Herman Kahn Signed first edition, first printing in dust jacket Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1960. First edition. Signed by Herman Kahn on front free endpaper, inscribed "To Geri, If and when you read it please don't expose it-- i.e. [illegible] were estimated with great care (see note on page 626) [signed] Herman." xx, 651 pp. Bound in publisher's maroon cloth lettered in gilt, ruled in black. Near Fine with a little foxing to edges, slight lean, in a Very Good dust jacket, spine panel toned, a few small stains and edge wear, chip to rear panel, unclipped ($10.00). One of the most influential academic works of the cold war, which made its author an instant celebrity. Kahn's recent biographer Sharon Ghamari-Tabrizi said the book "hums with motifs of world cataclysm, resurrection, and miracle," likening its frank, varied, jocular expository style to that of an epic poem. It would be parodied in the classic Stanley Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove.
