Nuclear deterrence introduced a new tension at its core, the uniquely destructive nature of nuclear weapons that made the consequences of deterrence failure unimaginably horrible. While most literature on nuclear deterrence is based on the U.S.-Soviet nuclear rivalry, there are clear limits on how far this can apply to nuclear rivalries which are asymmetric in nature, both in terms of composition of nuclear arsenals and respective nuclear doctrines.
