To verify or not to verify -- Soviet secrecy fuels the arms race and inhibits verification -- U.S. efforts to understand Soviet military forces and capabilities -- Strategic arms control legitimizes space-based reconnaissance -- Intelligence support to arms control activities -- National technical means of verification takes center stage -- "National technical means" goes multilateral -- Monitoring the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- Conclusion.
"Thomas Graham Jr. and Keith A. Hansen focus on the role of intelligence collection systems in promoting arms control and disarmament. They bring more than fifty combined years of experience to this discussion of the capabilities of technical systems, which are primarily based in space. Their history of the rapid advancement of surveillance technology is a window into a dramatic reconceptualization of Cold War strategies and policy planning. Graham and Hansen focus on the quality of the intelligence that has made possible accurate assessments of WMD programs in North Korea, Iran, and Libya. Their important insights shed a much-needed light on the process of verifying how the world harnesses the proliferation of nuclear arms and the continual drive for advancements in technology."--Jacket
