Robert Zarate and Henry D. Sokolski talked about the book they edited, Nuclear Heuristics: Selected Writings of Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter (Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College; January 26, 2009). It is a collection of important published and unpublished essays by Albert Wohlstetter (1913-1997) and Roberta Wohlstetter (1912-2007), pioneers of nuclear-age policy analysis.
