Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University, 1979. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xv, 138 pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. No dust jacket as issued. Joseph Douglass, Jr., Ph.D. was an author, teacher and internationally recognized authority on U.S.-Soviet relations and subsequent geopolitical strategies and conflicts. During his career, Dr. Douglass was sought out for his research, knowledge and expertise on the strategies and tactics of the U.S.S.R. during the Cold War and also for his interviews revealing facts about the fate of thousands U.S. military personnel listed as missing in action and prisoners of war during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Dr. Douglas taught at Cornell as well as The Johns Hopkins University, and the Navy Postgraduate School. He also worked at the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Dr. Douglass was best known for two books that he wrote following a long debriefing of Mr. Jan Sejna, the highest-ranking Communist defector to the United States. Those books, Red Cocaine, the Drugging of America, and Betrayed, the story of MIAs and POWs from several U.S. wars, are considered by some experts to contain breakthrough information on international drug strategies and the illegal detention and experimentation on MIAs and POWs based on evidence gained from interviews. Other books include Soviet Strategy for Nuclear War Soviet Military Strategy in Europe, Conventional War and Escalation: The Soviet View, Decision- Making in Communist Countries, Why the Soviets Violate Arms Control Treaties, and The Soviet Theater Nuclear Offensive.

Bethesda, MD: Naval Medical Research Institute of the National Naval Medical Center, 1953. Reprint circa 2007 by the Defense Technical Information Center. Wraps, with two staples on the left side. 30 pages. Figures. Tables. Mailing label on the back cover. Declassified from Secret Restricted Data to Unclassified.

Project 4.2 was designed to study the direct (primary) air blast injury, in animals, from an atomic weapon in the range of 20 to 50 psi under circumstances affording protections against missiles, thermal, and ionizing radiation and to estimate the probably direct air blast hazard in man. Two animal species of widely different body weights (700 rats and 56 dogs) were exposed, together with air pressure recorders, in aluminum cylinders, covered by sandbags and dire but open t both ends, at seven stations distributed within the intended overpressure range of 20 to 50 psi of Shot. About 200 rats were likewise exposed in Shot 9. Most of the animals were dead upon recovery. The rats recovered from Shot 9 were exposed to a recorded pressure of 18 to 24 psi. The autopsy findings were typical of those seen following exposure to air blast from HE or in the shock tube. Laboratory studies were planned to evaluate the relative importance of the several blast wave parameters in the production of injury. R. H. Draeger was at one time the NMRI's head of atomic-radiation-and-detection. More

Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 – December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. He was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell–Yan process is partially named for him. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1949. He co-authored the textbooks Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Quantum Fields with James Bjorken. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was an expert in nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 – February 6, 2021) was an American economist, diplomat, and businessman. He is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts.

Seattle, WA: University of Washington Press, 1989. 1989 Edition. Trade paperback. 21 cm, xviii, 120 [6] pages. Wraps. Occasional footnotes. Appendix. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This work was part of the Jessie and John Danz Lecture Series. In this timely and thought-provoking work, an internationally acclaimed theoretical physicist examines the nature and the magnitude of the threat posed by nuclear weapons. In his Introduction to the 1989 edition, Sidney Drell discusses the arms control efforts that have taken place in the five years since this work was first published, with particular emphasis on the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty of 1988. Drell discussed the technical realities of nuclear weapons and how these realities limit our options for policy. He goes on to examine the arms control approaches that can reduce the threat, the need for governments to make effective use of scientific advice, and the demonstrated importance of public opinion for making progress in arms limitations.

Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University, 2009. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. xiii, [1], 72, [2] pages. Illustrated front cover. Footnotes. Appendices. Foreword by George P Shultz. This work was sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the National Threat Initiative. A typed note is laid in, indicating that this copy was provided on behalf of Dr. Drell. This study's purpose is to stimulate further discussion and analysis, at both the conceptual and practical levels. For purposes of this study, we assume that the end state will be reached through successive stages of nuclear reductions that resemble the following: 1. The United States and Russia reduce to low numbers (200–500) operationally deployed warheads and bombs of all types; France, China, and the United Kingdom accept ceilings at less than 200; and India, Pakistan, and Israel freeze at then-current levels (assumed not to exceed approximately 100). 2. Each nuclear-armed state reduces deployed warheads to zero and non-deployed warheads to no more than 200, after which each nuclear-armed state might reduce the latter category to an interim number of 50–100 apiece. A variant could have a mix of 50–100 operationally deployed or declared reserve warheads retained by each state while all other warheads are eliminated. 3. Finally, each nuclear-armed state reduces warheads to zero while retaining monitored reconstitution capabilities within agreed parameters and for a period of agreed duration. Although those numbers are hypothetical, they provide a framework for examining key security issues that the United States and other nations will face as they approach and enter the end state. More
