Reviews

`Highly descriptive, it provide good background information for historians, security theorists and comparativists alike ... What makes this book a 'pioneer' attempt is the research approach ... the methodological approach and the spelling-out of statistical difficulties is an important scholarly finding ... the book is an eye-opener and invitesa serious reality-check.'
Georgeta V. Pourchot, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington DC, in European Security, Vol 7, no 3, Autumn 1998.
