When I was in St. Paul for AAAI last summer, I saw a book in one of the
chain bookstores (B. Dalton, Doublday, Walden, something like that) that
was an annotated version of the Pentagon's report on the military 
armarment and capabilities of the US and the USSR.  The annotater was
"a noted expert on US and Soviet arms," and the annotations showed how
the US capability was consistently underestimated, and the USSR capability
was consistently overestimated (presumably for the purposes of gaining
more funding).  

Can anyone give me the title and author of this book?  Can anyone tell
me how credible the author is and whether his information is reliable?

Thanks very much,
brad
