About this product
Product Information
Based primarily on the authors' personal experiences, this is the first study to reveal the inside story of how arms control decisions were made in the former Soviet Union. Savel'yev and General-Lieutenant Detinov participated directly in the decision-making process from 1969, when the Big Five was established, to the end of 1991, when the USSR was dissolved. They pay special attention to activities of the Politburo Commission for the Supervision of the Negotiations--the Big Five--and its working body, the interagency group known as the Five. They describe the key moments and main changes in the Soviet positions at SALT-I, SALT-II, INF, START, and DST.

Reviews
"While (the authors) are frank in admitting the twisted logic in some of their demands and, at times, even prevarication of their side, in the end they do not lend much support to those who viewed the Soviet stake in strategic arms control as a cynical subterfuge to secure unilateral advantage at every turn. The truth seems to have been the opposite. Yes, Soviet leaders sought the best deal they could get and resisted yielding any of their military advantages, but, when their demands looked like an attempt to disadvantage the United States seriously, they were usually reacting to their own black, worst-case assumptions about U.S. programs and intentions." Foreign Affairs, "The authors have demonstrably met their own objectives: to investigate how arms-control decisions were made, by whom, and how they were implemented." The International History Review, "This book is an insider's account of the Soviet arms control and disarmament decision-making process from the end of the 1960's until 1991--the year the Soviet Union ceased to exist....(It) does a good job of concisely describing the multitude of complicated issues that both sides had to address in the negotiations involving nuclear weapons (SALT I & II, START, the ABM Treaty, INF Treaty, and DST--Defense and Space Talks)." The Russian Review

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
