Well, the title says it all, really, I hardly need to write anything else. This book brings together most of the big names in conventional arms control and introduces the issues better than most books on the subject; considering the paucity of content in this field, it is perhaps the best such introduction available.

But wait, there's more! This book goes into sufficient detail to appeal to the more advanced reader as well. I found this invaluable in writing my undergrad thesis, and still found it very useful for my MA. Additionally, anyone doing any serious writing on the subject may have to justify their subject matter, considering how badly conventional weapons are neglected in the arms control literature, and Pierre's first chapter provides a very strong case for prioritizing this issue.

So whatever level you are interested in, if its conventional weapons you want, this is a MUST.
