Summary / Abstract (Note) | Professor Colin S. Gray dedicated his life to a careful examination of international relations and factors that influence states’ foreign policy and defense choices, among other topics in his excellent scholarship. He was keenly aware of limits of historical understanding for making too confident statements about what the future holds,1 yet Professor Gray’s writings leave one impressed with his prescience. “The future is the past in the ways that matter most,” he wrote in one of his publications and one cannot but think there is a lot of truth to that statement.2 Professor Gray’s selected thoughts on nuclear arms races and arms control, with which this article is concerned, are but a sliver of his extensive and most impressive scholarship on a variety of national security topics. |
