Review Sheet for Third Closed-book Exam

On Friday we'll finish up the course with the third closed-book exam. There will be a review session at 1:45 PM in 1108 Tydings Hall.

Included here is the review sheet for the exam.

Don't hesitate to email me if you have questions, but do your best to develop your own answers first.

Thinking about the Unthinkable

Here are a few links regarding interstate war that you might find interesting.

Embedded at the top of this post is a long (by the standards of the Internet, at least; ~15:00) video depicting--in 8-bit video game form--every confirmed nuclear detonation from 1945 through 1998. You can view it full size here.

Related is a post on HowStuffWorks entitled, "What would nuclear winter be like?" In class, we discussed briefly the concept of nuclear winter. This post provides greater detail on the theory.

Finally, I'd like to draw your attention to one of the links that has occupied the right-hand sidebar since the start of the session. Erik Sass at Mental Floss has been recounting every major event leading up to World War I in blog form. This is a must read for history and/or international security geeks (like me).

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
