xiii, 160 pp. "Beginning with a description of our present position in the Kilomegaton Age, Arthur T. Hadley outlines the prerequisites to nuclear control, such as making the deterrent more secure and providing an effective United States response to minor aggressions. He then goes on to the necessary moves to improve stability: agreement between ourselves and the Russians on what to do if a nuclear weapon explodes through human or mechanical error, control of weapons in outer space, prohibition of radar jamming, and so on. After analyzing various schemes that might endanger or cripple us, he ends by taking a detailed look at the type of basic, controlled arms limitation that make sense and hold the promise of a livable world for the future."
