| Cornerstones of Security: Arms Control Treaties in the Nuclear Era This anthology presents the complete text of thirty-four treaties that have effectively contained the spread of nuclear, biological, and conventional weapons during the Cold War and beyond.

He is the author of Disarmament Sketches: Three Decades of Arms Control and International Law . Ambassador Graham currently serves as chairman and Damien J. LaVera as coordinator of the Lawyers Alliance for World Security in Washington, D.C. |
