N2  - Examines anti-ballistic missile defence in the context of arms control. Traces the development of Soviet and US ABM programmes; SALT; the arms control of strategic ballistic missiles; the ABM Treaty; verification and violations of arms control agreements. Questions the validity of the ABM Treaty and concludes that "historical delusions about strategic arms control" ...continue to render the US "defenceless against ballistic missiles" and also prevent the US from "fielding the best missile defense our technology can provide."
