"In recent years there has been a lot of discussion on the issue of nuclear disarmament. In spite of great importance of the subject for world peace and national security, important documents on nuclear disarmament are not available at one place. The present book fulfills this gap. This will enable the experts and the common man to have better understanding of the ongoing debate on the subject.
"It is hoped that the book would be of great value to the researchers and students of defence studies, parliamentarians, senior executives concerned with defence and the common readers." (jacket)
