In the lecture which spurred this volume, Sidney Drell equated arms control with the Strategic Defense Initiative and limited his comments exclusively to that subject. Drell stands out among scientists who have contributed to the dialogue on arms control. He has been an advisor to the U.S. government on issues of national security and science policy for many years and served on the President's Science Advisory Committee for Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Two qualities distinguish the speeches and writings collected here. Drell has kept alive the hope of arms control even in its darkest hours, and has clearly explained the scientific side of arms control to public policy students.

"In the Shadow of the Bomb" probes the theoretical constraints that underlie science policy questions, addresses past and developing themes in the arms control and national security debate, and discusses the underpinnings and morality of nuclear deterrence. It includes Drell's personal reminiscences of friends and colleagues, among them, Wolfgang K.H. Panofsky, T.D. Lee, and Victor F. Weisskopf. Several essays are devoted to Andrei Sakharov, with whom Drell enjoyed a close friendship. This work is intended for general science readers and those interested in arms control and nuclear deterrence.
