When Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867, he
never could have predicted the unprecedented devastation that would
occur as a result of his discovery. History suggests that the
existence of a weapon leads to its eventual use in war, as
illustrated by the dropping of the atomic bomb on the Japanese
cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. At the opening of the
atomic age, scientists, political analysts, generals, and
politicians were haunted by the idea that nuclear wars could not be
won; both sides would be virtually destroyed. The stakes of the
game have only continued to rise as the 'club' of nations currently
possessing nuclear arms has become less and less exclusive: the
United States, the Soviet Union/Russia, England, France, China,
Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.Following a detailed
analysis of this timely issue, ""Nuclear Nonproliferation""
explores the threat of nuclear production and the potential for
solutions in four regions of the world - the United States, South
Asia (India and Pakistan), the Middle East (Israel, Iraq, and
Iran), and East Asia (North Korea). Tables, graphs, diagrams, and
helpful primary source documents complete this comprehensive
volume.
