Item description from seller

24 cm. [8], 158, [2] pages. Illustration. Notes. Appendices. Index. Small corner crease at rear DJ flap. Corners of several pages creased but no marks to text noted. Kathleen Cordelia Bailey (born January 5, 1949) is an American political scientist and artist. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and as Assistant Director of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. In 1976, Bailey was the first social scientist ever hired by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and was a founding member of the proliferation intelligence analysis program, which she directed from 1978-81. She specialized in analyses of foreign nuclear weapons programs. She undertook a controversial effort (ultimately squelched) to publicize a conclusion she had reached during her research in Tehran: that Iran was ripe for revolution and that it was likely to be led by the Islamic clergy. In 1983, she accepted a political appointment from the Reagan Administration as Deputy Director for the Bureau for Research in the US Information Agency, with responsibilities for foreign public opinion polling and analysis. She was acting director from late 1983-1985. From 1985-87, she served as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the US Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), where she headed the Office of Disinformation, Analysis, and Response, was responsible for long-range assessments, was INR liaison with the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, and chaired the Interagency Active Measures Working Group. The author addresses nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation, chemical weapons, Biological agents, Toxin agents, Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles, Missile Proliferation and U.S. arms control policies.
