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.

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

Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University, 2008. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. xxv, [1], 510 pages. Footnotes. Maps (with color). Illustrations (some in color). Appendices. Index. The Conference was sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Drawn from presentations made at the Hoover Institution's October 2007 conference, this collection of essays examines the practical steps necessary to address the current security challenges of nuclear weapons and to move toward the goal Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev envisaged in their historic meeting at Reykjavik: the elimination of all nuclear weapons. The distinguished group of contributors includes former officials of the past six administrations—Republican and Democratic—along with senior scholars and scientific experts on nuclear issues. They discuss the critical issues involved in reducing the number of weapons, preventing the growth of new nuclear weapons capabilities, securing nuclear stockpiles worldwide, the challenges of verification and compliance with treaties to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation, preventing the spread of technology for nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing, dealing with regional animosities, and engaging the entire international community in the joint enterprise of reducing the nuclear threat.

He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government.
