註釋The subtitle is apt for this history of the Cold War told against the backdrop of the arms race. Morris ( A Time of Passion ) provides an accurate and balanced work with sound conclusions: Indeed, technology sometimes is the driving force behind policy, and Star Wars probably will just increase instability and add new weapons. Morris's prognosis for halting the arms race is gloomy, but he holds out hope that the Gorbachev era may put an end to the underlying political distrust, which has resulted in the arms race. The works cited and chapter notes are extensive and valuable. An excellent book that will appeal to interested lay readers and specialists. Gerald N.
