This directory is a survey of the armed forces of the world. It presents the composition, size and deployment of every country's armed forces, together with information about population, GNP and defence expenditure. Widely used for official purposes and frequently quoted by analysts around the world, it is a work of reference for all those engaged in the analysis or study of defence and security matters, and who need accurate information on armed forces, manpower and budgets. Contents include comprehensive information covering size, organization, expenditure and weapons inventories of the armed forces of over 160 countries, and data on nuclear weapons and their delivery means. One large insert map features Russia and the territory of the former Soviet Union, and shows the existing strategic and military deployments with CFE Treaty limits, administrative and military district boundaries in the region. Introductions prefacing each country's entry include a review of current and potential conflicts. Analytical essays include: developments in the field of weapons of mass destruction; other arms control developments; peacekeeping operations; and estimating and interpreting defence economic data.
