Recenzii
“Arms Control and Disarmament makes a specific, well-documented, and fascinating point about arms control and about nuclear weaponry policies and challenges more broadly. … This book should be in all university libraries. While mainly focused on US and Soviet/Russian history, the broad-ranging and still relevant ideas allow the extension of the lessons learned to more current issues. Each essay is a masterpiece that deserves study. Building such a collection in one volume makes this a ‘must-have’ book.” (Sebastien Bleunven,H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, networks.h-net.org, October, 2019)
