| |  | | | In Brief
The author presents a "history of the arms race from the Manhattan Project to the Iceland Summit of 1986. His theme is that despite the rhetorical commitment to arms control, every president has left office with the U.S. nuclear arsenal greater in size, technological sophistication, or geographical reach. The dynamics of the international system, the cold war, technological pressure, and mistrust have proven to have a greater impact on decisions than thevirtues of arms control." (Libr J) Bibliography. Index.
