Reviews

?Milton Leitenberg has done us a great service. His balanced and comprehensive reconstruction of the history of Soviet submarine operations in Swedish waters will benefit all students of Soviet policy and practice in Northern Europe. The accompanying discussions of the domestic and international political contexts within which those submarine operations were perceived, responded to, and reported on, doubles the value of the work. The full Soviet military rationale for those operations may remain somewhat elusive, but Leitenberg has clearly provided us with a cogent description of their political consequences.?-Robert G. Weinland, Defense Analyst and Consultant, Washington, D.C

?Since 1980, Soviet submarine intrusions into Swedish coastal waters have apparently become more defiant and gratuitous, concludes Milton Leitenberg, a defense policy and arms control analyst. Regardless of whether one agrees with this, Leitenberg's Soviet Submarine Operations in Swedish Waters is a usefull, informative reconstruction of the history of these incidents.?-Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
