Drawing on their daily involvement with defense issues and their
interactions with the military and political elements of the
national security community, civilian and military defense analysts
in the U.S. Army War Colleger Strategic Studies Institute offer a
lucid analysis of the complex mosaic of strategic and European
defense issues. Their contributions are probing, balanced, and
provocative, designed for students of foreign and defense affairs,
as well as for policymakers. In the first section of the book, the
offensive and defensive aspects of the strategic balance between
the United States and the Soviet Union are examined. Going beyond
sterile, static weapons counts, the authors address the
relationship between the overall disposition of military forces and
deterrence and are attentive to possible future developments,
including the impact of new technologies and changing Sino-Soviet
relations that are likely to affect the U.S.-USSR relationship. The
second section of the book focuses on crucial East-West defense
issues within Europe: the balance of conventional and theater
nuclear forces, prospects for European arms control, the impact of
chemical weapons on deterrence and defense, and the fashioning of
an effective nonnuclear NATO defense. The book concludes with a
chapter that illuminates U.S.-West European historical and cultural
divergences, explaining in a new way the political strains that
frequently plague the alliance.
