An absorbing account of how the U.S. verified the key agreement that ended the Cold War. Should be read and absorbed by all who wonder how we can overcome the rush to war today.”
—JACK MATLOCK, former US Ambassador to the Soviet Union

“Scott gives us a fascinatingly intimate account of the bumpy on-site road to effective inspection/verification. Bumpy even in the presence of the mutual trust existing at the time. That trust is now squandered. God help us.”
—RAY McGOVERN, Former senior CIA analyst for Soviet/Russian affairs

“Ritter’s riveting personal history of nuclear arms control as seen from the inside, with its intense personal and institutional conflicts, could not come at a more propitious moment. Ritter is telling us that America’s dispute with Russia today must not prevent the renewal of serious arms talks, with all of their difficulty.” —SEYMOUR HERSH, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Investigative Journalist

“Scott Ritter’s book could not be timelier…” —DANIEL ELLSBERG, author of The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner
