For analysts and commentators, particularly those writing on politics, conflict and the military, the SIPRI Yearbook should be the most valuable publication on their bookshelves. This is a book that encompasses some of the most up-to-date and otherwise hard to find data that is publicly available but at the same time not easy to access. DAWN, Pakistan The best thing about this book is the quality of its writers, which is world class ... the SIPRI Yearbook is a volume of intelligent and incisive information collated together by an institute that has managed to get some of the best authorities in the field to write on their areas of expertise.
