New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1984. First Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. xi, [1], 96, [2] pages. DJ has some wear and soiling, with large tears and chips. These essays by the former Ambassador to India and present New York Senator address three issues: international peace, international racism and international law. The essay on international peace focuses on the history and meaning of the arms race. The essay on international racism examines the Communist theory of racism, in particular the Soviet use of the term "Zionism" as a synonym for racism, that is applied to those who oppose Soviet totalitarianism. The third essay explores the idea of law in the conduct of nations. From the New York Times Review by Richard Bernstein: The mind of Daniel Patrick Moynihan has ranged so nimbly over so many subjects that the senior Senator of New York may well be the foremost scholar-politician of the land. This slender volume, appearing midway through his second senatorial term, continues Mr. Moynihan’s tradition of elegant and original thinking on the big questions of the day. The Senator puts three subjects under scrutiny, all of them having to do with America’s role in the world and all of them related to the concept of loyalty – to nation, to good sense, to immutable principle – that the Senator sees his fellow citizens and politicians abandoning at our great peril.

Washington DC: National Academy of Sciences, 1997. presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. viii, 110, [2] pages. Boxes. Notes. Appendixes. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC) is a standing committee of the National Academy of Sciences. CISAC was created in 1980 to bring the Academy's scientific and technical talent to bear on crucial problems of peace and security. This report was based on an exhaustive reexamination of the issues addressed tin the Committee's 1991 report on The Future of the U.S.-Soviet Nuclear Relationship. It describes the state to which U.S. and Russian nuclear forces and policies have evolved since the Cold War ended, the reasons why further evolution is desirable, and the shape of a regime of progressive constraints responses to these reasons. It concludes with a discussion of the conditions and means under which, in the longer term, it could becomes desirable and feasible to prohibit the possession of nuclear weapons altogether. More

On January 24, 1994, the National Academy of Sciences released a major policy report recommending a comprehensive approach to the handling of the large stocks of weapons plutonium no longer needed with the end of the Cold War. The study, entitled "Management and Disposition of Excess Weapons Plutonium," presents detailed recommendations on a reciprocal U.S.-Russian plutonium regime, which would include: declarations on total inventories of weapons and fissile materials, monitored dismantlement of weapons, safeguarded interim storage of materials, and long-term disposal of excess plutonium either by vitrification into large logs with high-level waste or by use as fuel in existing reactors without future reprocessing.

Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1995. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xi, [3], 418, [4] pages. Wraps, Footnotes References. Boxes. Tables. Institutional stamp and ink notation on verso (page ii). Within the next decade, many thousands of U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons are slated to be retired as a result of nuclear arms reduction treaties and unilateral pledges. Hundreds of tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium will no longer be needed for weapons purposes and will pose urgent challenges to international security. This is the supporting volume to a study by the Committee on International Security and Arms Control which dealt with all phases of the management and disposition of these materials. This technical study concentrates on the option for the disposition of plutonium, looking in detail at the different types of reactors in which weapons plutonium could be burned and at the vitrification of plutonium, and comparing them using economic, security and environmental criteria.

This nontechnical overview of developments in nuclear arms control describes how the United States and the Soviet Union arrived at their present positions--and where they might go from here. According to Foreign Affairs, "This book is proof that the complexities of arms control can be successfully explained in a nontechnical, and even more importantly, nonpartisan manner. . . . It presents the key issues in a clear, thorough, and remarkably up-to-date way. . . . Strongly recommended as a primary source for classroom and public discussions." Arms control is a term for restrictions upon the development, production, stockpiling, proliferation and usage of conventional weapons, and weapons of mass destruction. More

Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1988. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 23 cm. viii, [2], 70 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Foreword by Frank Press. Contains material on the impact of defenses on offensive reduction regimes, noncentral systems, and alliance issues. No more important issue faces us today than the future success of efforts to manage and control nuclear arsenals. Reykjavik and Beyond represents the careful consideration of this subject by a group of experts deeply involved in arms control. The authors consider what changes in force structures, strategic thought, and political relations would be necessary to make possible large reductions in the superpowers' nuclear arsenals. They also examine how very deep cuts would affect other aspects of the military balance and the political and international order more broadly. More
