In the controversial legacy of the Nixon presidency, the
administration's effort to curb and control the spread of the
world's weapons of mass destruction is often overlooked. And yet by
the time President Nixon left office under the cloud of the
Watergate scandal, his actions on this front had surpassed those of
all his predecessors combined and laid the foundations of WMD arms
control and nonproliferation policies that persist to this day. In
Averting Doomsday, Patrick Garrity and Erin Mahan explore and
assess Nixon's record, addressing not only nuclear but also
biological and chemical weapons. Drawing substantially on
presidential recordings and other primary sources not widely
consulted, the authors shed new light on milestones such as the
first SALT agreement on strategic nuclear weapons and the
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, as well as the renunciation of US
offensive biological weapons and a Seabed treaty. The WMD-control
landscape had accumulated many divergent visions and interests over
time-technical, diplomatic, domestic political, and utopian. The
Nixon administration had to adjust to and build on this eclectic
foundation, creating a new layer of policies to deal with WMD that
substantially set the course-and perhaps limited the options-for
future administrations in ways that are still with us.
