In September 2017, North Korea shocked the world by exploding the
most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in 25 years. Months
earlier, it had conducted the first test flight of a missile
capable of ranging much of the United States. By the end of that
year, Kim Jong Un, the reclusive state's ruler, declared that his
nuclear deterrent was complete. Today, North Korea's nuclear
weapons stockpile and ballistic missile arsenal continues to grow,
presenting one of the most serious challenges to international
security to date. Internal regime propaganda has called North
Korea's nuclear forces the country's "treasured sword,"
underscoring the cherished place of these weapons in national
strategy. Fiercely committed to self-reliance, Kim remains
determined to avoid unilateral disarmament. Kim Jong Un and the
Bomb tells the story of how North Korea-once derided in the 1970s
as a "fourth-rate pipsqueak" of a country by President Richard
Nixon-came to credibly threaten the American homeland by November
2017. Ankit Panda explores the contours of North Korea's nuclear
capabilities, the developmental history of its weapons programs,
and the prospects for disarming or constraining Kim's arsenal. With
no signs that North Korea's total disarmament is imminent over the
next years or even decade, Panda explores the consequences of a
nuclear-armed North Korea for the United States, South Korea, and
the world.
