Opis

In the 1970s tactical nuclear warfare was a topical issue. New weapons had already been developed by nuclear-weapon laboratories and pressures were growing for their deployment. Because of its importance, SIPRI organized a meeting to discuss the whole question. Originally published in 1978, this book is the outcome of that meeting.
