Political Aspects Of Arms Transfers Purported Peace Brokering Military Weapons

An interesting book that gives good and clear insight into the way Sweden exported arms post WWII. It has been a while since I read it, but as I remember it, it covers things like breaking the Monroe doctrine (US arms trade monopoly in Latin America), Swedish arms sales to the US during the Vietnam war and to Iran and Iraq in Saddam Hussein's and Ayatollah Khomeyni's time courtesy of Olof Palme.
