With the return of great power competition, the United States needs every advantage it can get over its adversaries. This CSIS report looks at how the U.S. might revitalize the old but overlooked tool of surprise to gain a strategic advantage in great power conflict.

The prevailing Western view of Russia''s Cold War strategic nuclear weapons policy is that it resulted from a two-part interplay between the leaders of the Communist Party and the military. Steven J. Zaloga has found that a third contributor -- the Russian defense industry -- also played a vital role. Drawing from elusive Russian source material and interviews with many proud Russian and Ukrainian engineers, he presents a definitive account of Russia''s strategic forces, who built them, and why. Zaloga begins by examining the roots of the Soviet nuclear weapons program following World War II, revealing the role played by espionage and captured German technology. In one of the book''s groundbreaking revelations, he demonstrates how the failures of the early programs led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and how the resulting Soviet humiliation led to the arms race of the early 1970s. In the following decades, the Soviet nuclear weapons program grew out of control and was finally crippled with the collapse of the Soviet Union, yet today still affects international security. The book is the first in English to refer to the weapons by their actual Soviet names, providing the bedrock for future works. Helpful appendices list U.S., NATO, and other designations, and the illustrations provide clear visual references.

This book assesses the important role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the management of regional political, security and economic relations. The author argues that ASEANs prominent role in the region, spanning 50 years, is largely due to the acquiescence of the great powers who endorsed ASEAN, accepted its regional position and accorded the institution a legitimacy and durability that, otherwise, it would not have. This text offers a key intervention into the debate regarding ASEAN and regional order by showing how ASEANs contribution to order management is part of a negotiated division of labour with the great powers. The author applies an innovative social roles analysis, which captures the dynamic interactions between ASEAN and the great powers from the Cold War to the present day.

A unique and indispensible work that serves both as a basic introduction to the disarmament scene and a reference book for experts'' - "Disarmament Times " This compendium of the history and achievements of arms control and disarmament efforts is unique in its kind and is likely to remain so.
