These essays illuminate different aspects of military power and European security, whether the practicalities of planning and command within an alliance structure or the problems connected with distinguishing between offensive and defensive operationxs for purposes of arms control. Jonathan Alford died in 1986. There are two pieces by him included. The first, on confidence-building measures, was influential in helping to establish the framework which eventually led to the 1986 Stockholm agreements. The second, on the Northern Flank, is included because it was one of the last pieces he wrote.
