Originally published in 1982, this is the most comprehensive
handbook on arms control ever published. It contains an analysis of
the bilateral and multilateral agreements reached since World War
II. An assessment is made of the extent to which each agreement has
affected the arms race, reduced the likelihood of war or otherwise
contributed to the overall goal of disarmament. Ongoing arms
control negotiations are also analyzed. The complex problem of
verification of compliance with arms control obligations is
critically examined, and the shortcomings of the existing
arrangements are pointed out. The critique is searching, objective
and free of the usual biases of official government reports. The
analysis of the arms control agreements is preceded by an
historical overview, beginning with the Hague Peace Conferences,
held at the turn of this century, through the League of Nations'
attempts to bring about a universal reduction of armaments, to the
activities of the United Nations in the field of arms regulation
and general disarmament. The present arms control negotiating
machinery is described. The texts of the relevant documents are
reproduced for handy reference and the status of the implementation
of the most important multilateral arms control agreements is
presented in tabular form. Tables and figures facilitate the
reading.
