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."
