?Katz, fulfilling the promise of his subtitle, brings his story up to the second Reagan administration and offers critical analysis of the movement's recent efforts. His most valuable contribution, given the ever changing nature of the arms control field, is his concise survey of the precursors of SANE, its founding in the Cold War atmosphere of 1957, its contributions to the arms limitation treaties of 1963 and 1972, its anguished participation in the anti-Vietnam War movement, and its opposition to arms buildups in both Democratic and Republican administrations. His accounts of interviews with many SANE veterans are useful in revealing the nature of the political affiliations of those attracted to the movement. Other historians in the peace research field, such as Robert Schulzinger and Charles DeBenedetti, are quoted effectively. The bibliography provides a good introduction to the subject. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and general readers.?-Choice
