Wolfe came to the Washington area in 1962 as a specialist on Soviet defense and national affairs issues for Rand. He retired from full-time work in 1981 and was a Rand consultant until 1986. He was an Army Air Forces intelligence officer in Europe during World War II, a U.S. attache in Moscow from 1956 to 1958, and a senior adviser on the Soviet military at a disarmament conference in Geneva in 1960. He retired in 1962, after 20 years of military service. Col. Wolfe wrote three books, "Soviet Strategy at the Crossroads, " "Soviet Power and Europe: 1945-1970" and "The SALT Experience." He also wrote for journals such as Foreign Affairs, Orbis, Survival and Problems of Communism. Col. Wolfe had a master's degree in Russian from Columbia University and a doctorate in political science from George Washington University. This was an unusually timely book. The author, a well-respected and close observer of the SALT negotiations of the past decade while he was with RAND, wrote with clarity and evenhandedness. The political and strategic impact of the strategic arms limitation talks upon relations between the U.S. and U.S.S.R., and upon the process of national-security decisionmaking in the two countries. This book was published in 1978 before SALT II was actually signed in June 1979 but it anticipates most of the contents of the final agreements. It begins with a quick review of the SALT I negotiations and agreements in the opening chapter and then moves on to the SALT II negotiations with chapters on the American and Soviet negotiating teams and policy-making process. Then it moves on to the talks themselves and takes them from the late Nixon administration through the Ford administration at Vladivostok and then through most of the Carter administration.
