Synopsis

`Jozef Goldblat, one of the foremost authorities in this field, has compiled a veritable encyclopedia of arms control.... He is authoritative on both the more prominent topics, such as nuclear non-proliferation and verification, and those which are less widely understood.... Free of jargon, comprehensive on the facts, concise in analysis, this is a work of topical relevance and lasting value′ - Bulletin of Arms Control

Available in paperback for the first time, this comprehensive volume provides an historical overview of arms control. Jozef Goldblat analyzes all international arms control agreements reached since the later part of the nineteenth century through to mid-1993, and he also provides the complete texts or carefully selected excerpts of all the agreements covered.

Each agreement is presented in its political context and its significance is critically assessed. Goldblat also provides a comparative review of the problems of verification and compliance posed by the various treaties. Negotiations which failed to result in any agreement are also discussed and analyzed. Recommendations are made regarding possible future arms control undertakings.
