VG + / G+ . c. 1984. Second Printing. Hardcover. Index. Black cloth spine w/metallic gray spine lettering. Fore edge untrimmed . HISTORY. The Reagan Administration and the stalemate in nuclear arms control. A revelatory inside account of the personality clashes and power struggles. With an abundance of intimate detail, Talbott takes us behind the scenes in the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the conference chambers in Geneva. We enter National Security Council meetings to see President Reagan, with small grasp of the issues, trying to find some middle ground between his Secretary of State and his combative Secrety of Defense. Along the way we gain a rare understanding of arms control itself - the arcana of throw-weight, de-MIRVing, and dead zones, of double build-down and off-setting asymmetries, of the iron realities that lie behind the abstract doctrines. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 380 pages .

Deadly gambits. The Reagan Administration and the stalemate in nuclear arms control
TALBOTT, STROBE
New York,: Alfred A. Knopf,. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1984. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0394536371 . 380 pages, cloth, dj, 4th printing. From the publisher: an astonishing tale of bureaucratic infighting, ideological conflict, and personal antagonisms that makes clear for the first time not only how, but exactly why, the most vital negotiations of our times - the arms control talks between the United States and the Soviet Union - collapsed into dangerous stalemate. As a vivid picture of the real workings of the U.S. government, as a powerful argument against permitting desperately important policy to be shaped in a leadership vacuum, Deadly Gambit is a revelation. It is also a lasting contribution to history. . ( more information) Offered by Military History Bookshop (United States)
