A founding member of S-CAR, Sandole received his Ph.D. in politics at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland. He had been a William C. Foster Fellow as Visiting Scholar with the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA), where he worked on the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) negotiations.

The working group completed its second volume, "Apocalyptic Terrorism: Understanding the Unfathomable," in March 2004.
