"The SIPRI Yearbook remains an indispensable tool for all concerned with the world of armaments, disarmament, and security. It enters the new Millennium with all its old authority, and remains the standard source of information on miliary expenditure, arms production, the major arms producing companies, the transfers of conventional weapons, and nuclear arms control and proliferation." - Stephen Smith, The Amnesty Report, Spokesman 69, 2000.
