This text provides an up-to-date overview of nuclear weapons in the
politically fragile Middle East, discussing the evolution and
future of national programs, as well as the current challenge posed
by Iran. Shortly after World War II, the Middle East became a locus
for nations seeking to acquire nuclear missiles and the means to
deliver them to their enemies. Israel was the first; Libya and Iraq
followed suit. Pakistan now possesses a substantial number of
nuclear weapons, to which longtime rival India will no doubt
respond. The implications of the political and security dynamics of
the Middle East for the United States and other nations are truly
profound and sobering. Beyond Sand and Oil provides a
nation-by-nation overview of the evolution of nuclear weapons
programs in what is likely the world's most politically unstable
region. A detailed assessment of Iran's prospects for becoming a
nuclear weapons state-and how Israel, the Arab world, and the
international community will respond to that outcome-is also
included. Each chapter chronologically identifies key milestones in
the nuclear programs of the selected nations Contains maps
depicting areas of the Middle East Provides a comprehensive
discussion by country of the nuclear weapons programs that have
evolved in the Middle East since the 1950s Other key issues are
addressed, specifically the evolution of the India-Pakistan nuclear
rivalry and the current dangers posed by Pakistan's "Muslim bomb"
