This book examines the negotiations between the USA and the USSR on
the limitation of strategic arms during the Cold War, from 1969 to
1979. The negotiations on the limitation of strategic arms, which
were concluded in two agreements SALT I and SALT II (with only the
first ratified), marked a major change in the history of arms
control negotiations. For the first time, in the relatively short
history of nuclear weapons and negotiations over nuclear
disarmament, the two major nuclear powers had agreed to put limits
on the size of their nuclear strategic arms. However, the
negotiations between the US and USSR were the easy part of the
process. The more difficult part was the negotiations among the
Americans. Through the study of a decade of negotiations on the
limitation of strategic arms in the Cold War, this book examines
the forces that either allowed US presidents and senior officials
to pave a path toward a US arms limitation policy, or prevented
them from doing so. Most importantly, the book discusses the
meaning of these negotiations and agreements on the limitation of
strategic arms, and seeks to identify the intention of the
negotiators: Were they aiming at making the world a safer place?
What was the purpose of the negotiations and agreements within US
strategic thinking, both militarily and diplomatically? Were they
aimed at improving relations with the Soviet Union, or only at
enhancing the strategic balance as one component of the strategic
nuclear deterrence between the two powers? This book will be of
much interest to students of Cold War history, arms control, US
foreign policy and international relations in general.
