On Thermonuclear War by Herman Kahn. Kahn was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove. The book goes into remarkably granular detail regarding nuclear game theory, civil defense/resilience to nuclear war, and various schools of thought about optimal Cold War strategy.
He was very influential on both sides of the Iron Curtain. It's wild because he really goes there in terms of imagining actually fighting and winning a nuclear war for the stated purpose of making such a war less likely.
