Controls on the export of military and dual-use items were fundamental to international efforts to constrain Soviet military capabilities during the Cold War.

Relevant and timely in light of recent U.S. sanctions on Russian nuclear insitutions Solidly researched Includes personal interviews with officials from Bush and Clinton administrations
