ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
At one time I intended the material in this book to be part of its immediate predecessor, Arsenals of Folly. When that previous work reached more than five hundred manuscript pages and the end of the Cold War, I decided to close it there and take up the post–Cold War years separately. The Twilight of the Bombs is that separate and final narrative in what began as a single volume and has now concluded as a four-volume series.
It seems appropriate, then, to acknowledge here collectively the many people who helped me with this multivolume work. I can’t begin to list them all, but their names recur in this and previous volumes, none of which I could have written without them.
With this book in particular, Anne Sibbald has been more than an agent; she has been a trusted adviser as well. Mort Janklow’s experience and wisdom sustained the enterprise. Jon Segal, my editor at Knopf, encouraged me to explore further when I thought I was finished. He was right, and his good judgment made this a far better book. Richard Butler offered not only his clear memories but also his friendship, which I cherish. Tom Graham has been both a friend and an inspiration. My friends Eduard and Eugenia Wolfson, who lived through the last days of the U.S.S.R., enlivened my research into those difficult years.
I benefited as well from interviews with David Albright, Hans Blix, Linton Brooks, Sid Drell, Bob Gallucci, Jim Goodby, Keith Hansen, Sig Hecker, David Kay, Jack Mulligan, Sam Nunn, Frank Pabian, Stanislav Shushkevich, Jessica Stern, Paul White, and Stephen Younger. My affiliation with Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation and its codirectors, Sig Hecker and (in Scott Sagan’s absence) Lynn Eden, has been sustaining.
Thanking my wife, Dr. Ginger Rhodes, is far more than a formality. Ginger has worked with me on almost all my books. She’s the first to read every chapter, always with enthusiasm. For this final volume, as for many of my earlier books, she tracked down copyright holders and negotiated all the permissions. I respect, admire, and adore her. She, not thermonuclear fusion, makes the sun shine.
