Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xvii, [1], 222 pages. Footnotes. Table. Appendices. Index. Institutional stamp and ink notation on verso. Peter A. Clausen was director of research for the Union of Concerned Scientists and an advocate of nuclear disarmament. Mr. Clausen joined the Cambridge-based organization in 1983 as a senior analyst. He became research director in 1984. He also was an adjunct research fellow at the Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. A specialist in arms control, Mr. Clausen was a co-author of "The Fallacy of Star Wars," published in 1984, and "Empty Promise: The Growing Case Against Star Wars," published in 1986. He was a graduate of the University of California at Davis and received a doctorate in political science from the University of California at Los Angeles. He was a political analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency from 1975 to 1978 and was with the United States Energy Department from 1978 to 1982. This new work represents an important and timely legacy by one of the U.S.'s leading experts on nuclear proliferation. The author died in 1991. An outgrowth of Dr. Clausen's long-standing advocacy of nuclear nonproliferation, this book traces the origins and historical fluctuations of U.S. policy from the detonation of the first atomic bomb to the time of this work's publication. Giving careful attention to the individual choices which framed and steered that policy, the author clearly demonstrates that America has opposed nuclear proliferation not as a moral or humanitarian imperative, but out of strict calculations of national interest. With his singular blend of descriptive, historical, and analytical insights, Dr. Clausen has left a solid historical reference and a valuable set of guidelines for future policy decisions.
