Reviews

The Control Agenda makes an important contribution to the field of diplomatic history. Ambrose's work will appeal to policy schools and the strategic studies community. --James Wilson, Historian in the Office of the Historian at the U.S. Department of State Matthew Ambrose has written a superb account of the history of the SALT process of arms control. I know of no book that tells this story from Nixon through Reagan. The Control Agenda fills a huge gap in the literature and I predict it will stand the test of time. --Thomas Schwartz, Professor of History, Political Science, and European Studies at Vanderbilt University
