Description: "The author of this book is neither a promoter nor a critic of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, but rather he provides a brief historical and analytical understanding of the events surrounding its negotiation and implementation. The author's analysis, based on his personal involvement in the CTBT negotiations, provides a unique, insider's view of how the critical events unfolded and how they are likely to affect future nonproliferation initiatives."--BOOK JACKET.
