MAD, Mutual Assured Destruction, didn't actually prevent war, there were numerous small wars that were paid for by either the US or the USSR. What MAD did was make nuclear war unthinkable to any sane person. If one of the nuclear club had launched their missiles it would have caused instant retribution with enough atomic munitions to kill the population of the earth several times over. It made it so nuclear war was a no win scenario. A good resource for this is the movie, "War Games".
