A Memoir of the Missile Age

One Man's Journey

Beschreibung

Vitaly Leonidovich Katayev was an eyewitness to the arms race accelerating at an absurd and inexplicable pace. His perspective was from inside the Soviet system, in an office that was devoted to analysis of arms control and defence matters. His recollections in this book offer an extraordinary window into Soviet decisions and calculations.
