xi, 205, [1] pages. Figures. Abbreviations. Footnotes. Notes on contributors. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. The papers collected in this anthology were first presented at a symposium organized by the Federal Armed Forces Office for Studies and Exercises. Elmar Schmähling, born in 1937, was with the German Navy since 1957, 1982-90 admiral and one of the chief strategists of the German Navy. He separated from the service in 1990 due to his public criticism of NATO. George H. Quester is a Professor Emeritus of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, and is currently the J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Visiting Professor of International Affairs at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs. He is one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of international security studies, having published a dozen books and ten edited books and textbooks over the course of his career. He is especially noted for his work on nuclear weapons and arms control. Professor Quester's publications include: Deterrence Before Hiroshima (reissued 1986), The Politics of Nuclear Proliferation (1973), The Future of Nuclear Deterrence (1986), Nuclear Monopoly (2000), Nuclear First Strike: Consequences of a Broken Taboo (2005), and Preemption, Prevention and Proliferation: the Threat and Use of Weapons In History (2009). Dr. Quester received his B.A. from Columbia University and his Ph.D. from Harvard University. Joseph F. Pilat is a Senior Adviser for the National Security Office in the Los Alamos National Laboratory. For several decades nuclear weapons have been considered guarantors of peace between the two blocs of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This view has been seriously challenged with the result that the USA and USSR are redoubling their efforts to achieve deep cuts in their nuclear arsenals. At this time of unprecedented opportunity and change in post-war international relations, the German Bundeswehr Office of Studies and Exercises decided to convene a conference and to invite a wide rang of military, diplomatic and academic experts to probe the implications of the significant reduction of strategic nuclear systems for security policy and the possible shape of the future. This collections is unique: it is the first time that a senior research branch of the defence community within a major NATO member country has caused its sister organizations to address, in unclassified form and in an academic context, the political and technical aspects of preserving peace in a stable form without nuclear weapons.…
