Are the United States and the Russian Federation on the brink of war? Warnings have gone out to members of Congress that they must act to avoid a nuclear holocaust. Assertions claim the future of human existence on earth is at stake. The response of Congressional representatives is mixed. Do they believe a nuclear war is winnable? Author Dunkerley examines the rhetoric heard during a Congressional Hearing titled "US Policy Toward Putin's Russia." You'll be surprised -- and perhaps alarmed -- by who said what. This monograph is part of the "Russia: Straight Talk on Hushed issues" series. It is dedicated to advancing the concept of a safe, sustaining, and positive relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation.
