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.
