This timely and accessible book traces the evolution of the nuclear
arms race from its origin in Roosevelt's decision to develop an
atomic bomb to Reagan's decision to continue its expansion in the
1980s. As Powaski explains, the United States and the Soviet Union
have a combined total of almost 50,000 nuclear weapons. Nuclear
arms treaties and agreements are threatening to collapse, he
argues, while the proliferation of nuclear materials and weapons
throughout the world has given many countries the capability to
produce nuclear weapons. Powaski shows how one President after
another has promised to do his utmost to end the nuclear weapons
competition, yet each one has actually increased the quantity of
these weapons in the American arsenal, revealing a startling
discrepancy between Presidential words and actions.
