These are frightening times for us all: Sarin nerve gas being
sprayed on innocent civilians in Syria, threats that biological
warfare agents might be spread about on the New York Subway and the
most terrifying of all, three dirty bomb attacks thwarted in
Russia. The reality of all these developments is that the
environment in which we live today is being seriously threatened by
the calculated use of weapons of mass destruction, and from a
variety of dissident sources. Many rogue nations have attempted to
build the bomb, an enormously complex task. So far only Pakistan
and North Korea have succeeded, with Iran right now on the cusp of
making that breakthrough. South Africa built six atom bombs in the
1970/1980s but with British, American and help from the
International Atomic Energy Agency dismantled both the weapons and
the entire programme shortly before Nelson Mandela came to power.
In Nuclear Terror, Venter assesses the developments over the past
10 years of different countries in their attempts to build a
nuclear programme. Not inflammatory, or scaremongering, Venter
takes an objective stance in chronicling these recent developments
overseas and adds another valuable contribution to this
conversation.
