?An excellent handbook on the issues surrounding conventional arms control and disarmament. The editors have provided a good single source document on background, objectives, and procedures concerning disarmament in general, the current Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) and Confidence and Security Building Measures (CSBM) negotiations, and problems surrounding verification. Alternative defenses and reflections on the future environment for disarmament negotiations are discussed as well. Although certain discussions concerning the Warsaw Pact are obviously now overcome by events, it does not detract from the book's usefulness. Numerous tables and maps clarify many of the issues. The appendixes are exceptionally valuable because they provide documents in their entirety, including the February 9, 1989 Mandate for Negotiation on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe and the Western CSBM Proposal of June 9, 1989. Follow-up study by the researcher is supported by complete chapter notes and an excellent bibliography. The book is most useful as a background and fact book, and would be a good supporting text in a college class on conventional arms control and national security strategy.?-Choice
