Praise for the First Edition `Jozef Goldblat, one of the foremost authorities in this field, has compiled a veritable encyclopedia of arms control.... He is authoritative on both the more prominent topics, such as nuclear non-proliferation and verification, and those which are less widely understood.... Free of jargon, comprehensive on the facts, concise in analysis, this is a work of topical relevance and lasting value' - Bulletin of Arms Control
