Opis

Since World War II, five navies are known to have acquired nuclear weapons; the activities of these forces continue to play a critical and often dangerous role in global strategic affairs. Offering the first serious appraisal of naval arms and their control in forty years, an international panel of experts here presents a broad and detailed assessment of the dangers of the naval arms race, and discusses problems with naval arms control, confidence-building measures, and verification technologies.
