Overview

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."" Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Overview 2 Strategic Offensive Nuclear Arms Control 3 The Nuclear Freeze 4 The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF) Negotiations 5 Strategic Defensive Arms Control: The SALT I Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty 6 Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Arms Control 7 Nuclear Test Bans 8 Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Acronyms Appendix A SALT I Interim Agreement on Strategic Offensive Arms Appendix B SALT II Treaty Appendix C SALT I ABM Treaty Appendix D Limited Test Ban Treaty Appendix E Threshold Test Ban Treaty Appendix F Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty Appendix G Non-Proliferation Treaty Index
