This book addresses the incentives for nations to develop nuclear
weapons and the technical expertise needed for that purpose.
Ballistic missiles are required by any nation wanting to optimize
the effectiveness of deterrence and the threat derived from
possessing nuclear weapons. The basic science of ballistic missile
programs is discussed using the North Korean program as an example,
although to some extent the programs of other countries are also
covered. In addition, there is an introduction to the basics of
nuclear weapons technology.Unlike most books on these topics, this
one includes, besides the technical component, the policy aspects
surrounding nuclear weapons. It also shows how nuclear weapons can
- and have - stabilized conflicts, discussing why the concept of
deterrence may not always be relied upon to prevent war. The origin
of terrorism in the Middle East and the possibility of nuclear
terrorism originating from that region are other topics of
interest.
