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 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.

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!

Anyone that is interested in the topic of nuclear weapons should own a copy of this book. It covers everything to what is a nuclear weapon to who has them. It is not a dense academical work where one only understands every other concept or so. It uses understandable English to discuss the topic of nuclear weapons. There are also many graphs and even a colored map at the end that shows who has what weapon. I look forward to reading the rest of the book and recommend this book to those that are interested in the topic!

This book has great facts about weapons of mass destruction throughout the world's countries. Great for research.

The book arrived in the estimated time and in the condition advertised by this seller.
