- Summary:
- Dispelling many of the myths surrounding the East-West naval arms race, this book documents the largely unobserved nuclearization of naval forces and analyzes the implications for future security and arms control. The authors conclude that, contrary to common perception, the Soviet navy is at a considerable military disadvantage in the world's waters, a condition that should hold true for the foreseeable future.
