Book by

From Library Journal:

Beginning in the late 1970s with the Encyclopedia of American Foreign Policy ( LJ 11/1/78), Scribner has produced several important and highly useful reference works in American political, social, religious, and social history. This latest three-volume set features 76 original signed articles, often several thousand words in length and written by historians, political scientists, and other military and nuclear experts. Arranged both chronologically and topically, these thorough yet concise essays discuss not only arms control and disarmament issues in specific countries but also treat the historical dimensions from the ancient world to the present. The third volume, a collection of disarmament treaties over the centuries, will be especially useful to harried reference librarians seeking to find quickly the text to the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact outlawing war or other documents currently scattered throughout dozens of other books. Burns, who has edited several previous works, the most significant being Guide to American Foreign Relations ( LJ 2/1/83), has again produced a reference work without peer. Buttressed with current bibliographies, it is exceedingly useful for the novice or the accomplished scholar. Recommended for academic and most public libraries.
