This nontechnical overview of developments in nuclear arms control describes how the United States and the Soviet Union arrived at their present positions--and where they might go from here. According to Foreign Affairs, "This book is proof that the complexities of arms control can be successfully explained in a nontechnical, and even more importantly, nonpartisan manner...It presents the key issues in a clear, thorough, and remarkably up-to-date way...Strongly recommended as a primary source for classroom and public discussions."
