Excellent Proliferation Resource,
This review is from: Deadly Arsenals: Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Threats, Revised Edition (Paperback)
The latest in the line of Carnegie proliferation surveys, Deadly Arsenals is an essential resource for all concerned with WMD proliferation issues. Students of nonproliferation will appreciate the up-to-date analysis of the regime and its hard cases, including timely information on North Korea, Iran, and the most recent "success" story, Libya. This is one of the few books I keep on my desk--my dog-eared 2002 edition is ready to be shelved.

This review is from: Deadly Arsenals: Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Threats, Revised Edition (Paperback)
This is a comprehensive book in which the authors describe proliferation issues and nonproliferations issues. This is a great reference book to have on nuclear issues as well as biological and chemical threats.
The book is detailed to the extent that one would think that some of the material should be classified, because there is a chapter on Russian nuclear facilities which handle nuclear materials, waste mamnagement sites, Russian stategic submarine fleet sites and nuclear test sites are featured. Also China's aresnals are thorougly presented and many others. Iran N. Korea to name a few. The authors describe many of the international network of treaties and agreements construted over the past 50 years. Also there's a chapter on nuclear, biological and chemical materials and weapon systems to deliver them. Overall I enjoyed reading this book, it's a good refernece to have if you want to know about proliferation and non proliferation issues that affect the fragile world we live in.

This review is from: Deadly Arsenals: Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Threats, Revised Edition (Paperback)
Great book that provides general overview of issues relating to nuclear weapons and WMDs. Book is easy to read and understand, which makes learning about this important subject much more enjoyable. An updated version of the book would be great!
