Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika is the definitive history of the implementation of the INF Treaty signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in all its complexities, and the lengths to which both sides went to "trust, but verify" this successful and unique historic disarmament process. Ritter draws upon his own personal history—occasionally hilarious, occasionally fraught with peril. His book represents not just a guide to, but the standard upon which all future on-site inspections will be based and judged.
