Should the United States prevent additional allies from developing
atomic weapons? Although preventing U.S. allies and partners from
acquiring nuclear weapons was an important part of America's Cold
War goals, in the decades since, Washington has mostly focused on
preventing small adversarial states from building the bomb. This
has begun to change as countries as diverse as Germany, Japan,
South Korea, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, among others, have begun
discussing the value of an independent nuclear arsenal. Their
ambitions have led to renewed discussion in U.S. foreign policy
circles about the consequences of allied proliferation for the
United States. Despite the fact that four countries have actually
acquired nuclear weapons, this discussion remains abstract,
theoretical, and little changed since the earliest days of the
nuclear era. Using historical case studies, this book shines a
light on this increasingly pressing issue. Keck examines the impact
that acquiring nuclear arsenals had after our allies developed
them. It achieves this by examining existing and recently
declassified documents, original archival research, and- for the
Israel and especially Pakistan cases- interviews with U.S.
officials who worked on the events in question.
