Reviews

Stephen J. Cimbala's The United States, Russia and Nuclear Peace is an especially timely contribution to the literature, as it provides a cogent account of the nuclear deterrence policies ... . His treatment of the complexities relating to the nuclear arms race in a multipolar nuclear age is especially enlightening. Cimbala's well-founded argument that the maintenance of the balance between Washington and Moscow is essential to the prevention of nuclear proliferation cannot be ignored.
