Albert Legault was a Quebec researcher and professor. He was a renowned researcher in the field of strategic studies. He specializes in peacekeeping, he had published several books on the themes of nuclear deterrence in the world and disarmament. Dr. George R. Lindsey (1920-2011), a leading Canadian defence scientist, gained widespread recognition in the Western alliance during a government career that spanned nearly the whole of the Cold War.

He played a key role in developing modern capacities in both fields while defending Canadian interests on the front lines of Cold War military planning and preparations. The main chapters are: Nuclear Explosives, Offensive Strategic Missiles, Ballistic-Missile Defense, The Ballistic-Missile Submarine and Antisubmarine Defense, Strategic Bombers and Air Defense, Deterrence, A Theoretical Model of Deterrence, From Disarmament to Arms Control, and The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.
