Co-published with Abt Books, this volume is a thorough and dispassionate inquiry into the concept of a mutual U.S.-Soviet freeze on the testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons. It explores not only the strategic and arms control implications of a nuclear freeze, but also its attendant political and moral issues. The book represents a unique contribution to the nuclear policy debate: while taking, on balance, a position against a freeze, it does so after a careful consideration of the arguments for that proposal.
