This is one of the first books I would recommend to people looking for a list of actions that should be taken to prevent another catastrophic terrorist attack. Michael A. Levi and Michael E. O'Hanlon have written an extraordinarily comprehensive survey of policy recommendations for confronting terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)...I hope that policy makers of all stripes will read this book and realize that arms control is a major arrow in the quiver in the prevention of WMD proliferation and terrorism. --Dan Lindley, University of Notre Dame, Political Science Quarterly, 12/1/2005 ...a valuable resource on the topic that will have some endurance, because the arguments in question will themselves endure. --John D. Steinbruner, Director of the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, Arms Control Today, 3/1/2005 Co-authors Michael Levi and Michael O'Hanlon present a compelling case for a renewed focus on arms control by the United States. --Captain George Galdorisi, U.S. Navy (Retired), United States Naval Institute. Proceedings., 4/1/2005

Kissinger, former Secretary of State There is not, to my knowledge, any comparable book, and this one is a winner. --Thomas Schelling, University of Maryland, author, STRATEGY AND ARMS CONTROL (with Morton Halperin)
