Total Peace

is an ironic reference to the fact that nuclear deterrence is an inverted continuation of the Total War of aerial bombardment.

For Virilio the Total Peace of nuclear deterrence is an inverted continuation of the total war of aerial bombardment, or as he puts it in an interview with Sylvère Lotringer, 'the Second World War never ended . . . There's no state of peace. It isn't over because it continued in Total Peace, that is, in war pursued by other means' (Virilio and Lotringer 1997: 30–1). p.77
