That is a very narrow view. Maybe read this book.

How about 'A Citizen's Guide to Grassroots Campaign' by Jan Barry?

A progressive work on campaigning is The Progressive's Guide to Raising Hell though the former is more professional and organized than the latter.

Nuclear winter would not occur from a few nuclear detonations; it would take a large number on a world-wide scale to do this.

The justification for usage of a nuclear weapon could likely be the same as what we used in World War 2 Japan: It would save American troop lives, and it would save Japanese lives. The argument has been made that the 250,000 lives lost at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were less than what would have been lost if America had been forced to make a land invasion of Japan.

Could that justification be used today? Could detonating a nuclear bomb on Pyongyang cause North Korea to capitulate immediately, avoiding the necessity of American troops invading? I'm sure someone is making that calculation somewhere, and I'm sure there is a ratio of American lives lost to Foreign lives lost that has been computed.

If you're interested in a fiction series that explores the concept of the aggressive usage of nuclear weapons, I recommend Harry Turtledove's 'The Hot War' series. This series explores what if MacArthur had been granted permission to use atomic bombs during the Korean War.
