In 2017, North Korea shocked the world: test-flying a missile
capable of reaching the US, exploding the most powerful nuclear
device tested anywhere in a quarter-century, and declaring its
nuclear deterrent complete. Today, Kim Jong Un's growing nuclear
stockpile represents a grave threat to international security. But
this programme means more to him than world glory. State propaganda
calls it the 'treasured sword': Kim is determined to keep ruling,
and he sees his nukes as the key to regime survival. Kim Jong Un
and the Bomb explores the history of North Korea's nuclear weapons
development, its present power, and the prospects of containing
Kim's arsenal. This book confronts us with a nuclear-armed North
Korea that is not going anywhere, and reveals what this means for
the US, South Korea and the world. Ankit Panda is an award-winning
writer and international security expert. He is Adjunct Senior
Fellow in the Defense Posture Project at the Federation of American
Scientists, and a senior editor at The Diplomat. He lives in New
York.
