Carmel Davis received a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004.
Taking the period 1970 to 1982 as his set of cases, Carmel Davis
looks at how well U.S. perceptions of the extent of the danger
posed by the Soviet Union can be explained by one version of
balance of power theory, balance of threat, and what he calls the
balance of military capabilities. This is an important period of
the Cold War, and the summary of the relevant facts, figures, and
intelligence judgments is useful. The exposition of the theories .
. . raises interesting and important issues. In just 114 pages, the
book covers quite a bit of ground very concisely.
