The Myth of Soviet Military Supremacy by Tom Gervasi tackles a central question; whether the Reagan administration's program to rearm America was really necessary. The administration and its supporters claimed it was necessary to counter a growing Soviet military threat and possibility of Soviet superpower. But, the author shows that all the best evidence indicates the claims were false. Using Congressional testimony and official sources, he shows the strategic balance of power between the U.S. and Soviet Union on the nuclear theater and conventional balances of power in Europe. Comprehensive notes and appendixes document where every piece of evidence was obtained. The book produces a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the military balance.
