The ABCs of the Soviet-American Nuclear Arms Race

In this provocative and timely book, Ray Perkins, Jr., examines the very issue that could destroy us all - competition for nuclear supremacy between the Soviet Union and the Unites States. Yet, Perkins's approach is one of hope, not of doom. The ABCs of the Soviet-American Nuclear Arms Race shows readers that if the super-powers have the power to destroy our planet, they also have the power to save it. Is such cooperation possible...even likely? Before we can even consider how this may be accomplished, we need to know something about the arms race - its nature, causes, effects, and possible cures. Perkins separates fact from fiction in his examination of the nuclear threat and provides an understanding of some of the wider cultural issues that contribute to the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. --- from book's back cover
