Recenzje

From the reviews:

"Describe the CTBT verification regime in great detail, and this is the book's main attraction and value. ... For anyone interested in the specifics of CTBT monitoring, this book will be an essential aid. The tables, graphics, and charts in particular are exceptionally useful ... . Detect and Deter is, overall, recommended reading for those with a need to know the details behind the world's most sophisticated arms control monitoring system."
