B-2 question

I confess to being kinda amazed that the threat of use of certain weapons

essence caused the CCCP to dismantle itself.

It almost beggars belief that someone was smart enough to think it through
in
advance - but was that the case ?

Was it simply pure luck ?

There was a book written around 1960 by a Harvard Uni Professor (I forget
the name of the book or author sorry) that predicted that Communism couldn't
work. He also said that because of increasing defense costs and because the
USSR spent huge portions of their available budget on the military, not to
mention the Soviets mentality that the best way to overthrow them was to
build up your military and wait. I dont know if Reagan or his team ever
heard of this book but the idea had been around for years. The cost of
Technology and not being burdened by Vietnam meant that the time had finally
come in the '80s

I'm really ****ed off with myself that I cant remember the books title
