The article mentions Herman Kahn of the Hudson Institute.
He was best known for his book “On Thermonuclear War” where he argued that nuclear war was winnable.
In Dr. Strangelove that view was best expressed by the George C. Scott character who advises the president that a first strike would only lead to ten to twenty million killed and therefore could be “won”.
