Small Arms are responsible for over half a million deaths each
year. Despite this terrifying statistic, millions of guns flow into
the streets of the world each year. It is a multi-billion dollar
industry, and one which is barely regulated. From AK-47s to M16
rifles; from Terrorist-owned shoulder-fired missiles to child
soldiers, this enlightening guide reveals the disturbing reality
behind the murky underworld of international arms trading.
Explaining how deals can often operate on the edge of legality, and
listing the world's main players, it goes on to ask how the
exchange of small arms can be tightened in the future. Full of
insight and anticipating the danger of ever lighter and more
powerful weapons, this is required reading for anyone who wishes to
understand the world today and one of the key threats to
development, prosperity and international peace.
In the course of an academic career spanning five decades,
Professor Roy Arthur Swanson established himself as an
internationally recognized scholar and outstanding teacher in
Classics and literary studies. He is the author of five books and
the co-author of three books, and has been active as an editor and
contributor of articles and reviews to scholarly publications.
Twelve former students, colleagues, and friends have contributed
papers in honor of Professor Swanson's seventy-fifth birthday.
These papers all touch on subjects close to his heart, ranging from
Greek, Roman, Italian, Scandinavian, and German literary studies to
modern pop culture.
