Congress and the Nuclear Freeze : An Inside Look at the Politics of a Mass Movement

Early in 1982 a group of lawmakers introduced into both houses of the U.S. Congress a resolution calling on the United States and the Soviet Union to negotiate a mutual and verifiable halt to the nuclear arms race. It was a bold measure and one that sparked intense debate between members of Congress and the White House over the conduct of U.S. arms control policy. This book is an inside account of that legislative battle, told by a congressional aide who was in the thick of it. Douglas C. Waller ; Foreword By Edward M. Kennedy. Includes Index. Bibliography: P.
