Much has been said and written about the failure of U.S.
intelligence to prevent the terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001, and its overestimation of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
under Saddam Hussein. This book focuses instead on the central role
that intelligence-collection systems play in promoting arms control
and disarmament. Ambassador Thomas Graham Jr. and Keith Hansen
bring more than fifty combined years of experience to this
discussion of the capabilities of technical systems, which are
primarily based in space. Their history of the rapid advancement of
surveillance technology is a window into a dramatic
reconceptualization of Cold War strategies and policy planning.
Graham and Hansen focus on the intelligence successes against
Soviet strategic nuclear forces and the quality of the intelligence
that has made possible accurate assessments of WMD programs in
North Korea, Iran, and Libya. Their important insights shed a
much-needed light on the process of verifying how the world
harnesses the proliferation of nuclear arms and the continual drive
for advancements in technology.
