Caldwell, D

SALFT II's fate is of more than passing interest now that its successor, START I, looks like it too might have trouble being ratified, if it ever gets negotiated. In this book, the author tells of the story in detail and lets the interviewees speak for themselves. Negotiators in the Bush administration must surely agree with one of the author's conclusions: just as Carter should have quickly finished SALT II and ratified it as Nixon's treaty, so should they have quickly finished and ratified START I as Reagan's handiwork.
