Soviet Military Power was a publication of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which provided an estimate of the military strategy and capabilities of the Soviet Union during the final years of the Cold War, ostensibly to alert the U.S. public to the significant military capabilities of the Soviet Armed Forces. First published in early October, 1981, it became an annual publication from 1983 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In addition to the majority English version, Soviet Military Power was translated, printed, and disseminated in a variety of languages. The report was produced annually by intelligence analysts and subject matter experts at DIA, incorporating all sources of intelligence from across the U.S. Intelligence Community. . To illustrate the publication without revealing classified U.S. satellite imagery and sensor capabilities, DIA artists prepared approximately 150 detailed paintings of Soviet military hardware and installations specifically for the publication.

Washington DC: Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), 2013. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [4], 73, [1] pages. Footnotes. Small tears to lower spine. While President Obama has made it a priority to change the U.S. nuclear posture and reduce the number and role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, other countries have not followed his lead. The leaders of most nuclear states and states with nuclear aspirations perceive nuclear arms to be of enduring value in meeting their security needs. The world is already well into a second nuclear age in which the bomb is proliferating for reasons very different from those of the strategic nuclear competition between the United States and the USSR during the Cold War. What are the implications of this divergence in views? This study offers insights into the motivations of countries to acquire nuclear weapons, and how those countries view the role of nuclear weapons in their military and national security strategy.

Sponsored by U.S. Air Force under contract no. F44620-73-C-0011. Approved for public release. This is the commercial version of a RAND study that was written by a policy analyst and Soviet specialist two years earlier in 1976. This book was published in 1978 before SALT II was actually signed in June 1979 but it anticipates most of the contents of the final agreements. It begins with a quick review of the SALT I negotiations and agreements in the opening chapter and then moves on to the SALT II negotiations with chapters on the American and Soviet negotiating teams and policy-making process. Then it moves on to the talks themselves and takes them from the late Nixon administration through the Ford administration at Vladivostok and then through most of the Carter administration. More
