Two great books I just finished:

The first, The Wizards of Armageddon by Fred Kaplan, is a fantastic overview of the development of U.S. nuclear strategy during the Cold War. Kaplan is a great writer who knows how to clearly detail and express information, with some humor sprinkled in making it a fun read. (Just as an aside, if you want to fit this book and nuclear strategy in general into the historical context of U.S. Cold War grand strategy read Strategies of Containment: A Critical Appraisal of American National Security Policy during the Cold War By John Lewis Gaddis.)

My second recommendation, this one for modern nuclear strategy in the 21st century, is Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era: Regional Powers and International Conflict by Vipin Narang. It is a brilliant book and very important for understanding how states chose various nuclear strategies/postures and the deterrent power each nuclear posture holds. Amazing book.

And that I think rather highly of myself. So I read books on military and diplomatic doctrines to help reinforce that hubris. Things like this.
