“Cordesman's work is timely, well written, and well researched. Most suited for professionals and advanced graduate students.”–Choice
Product Description
Rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea may be able to build weapons of mass destruction in as little as five years. Proliferation poses a broad range of threats to the United States, our allies, and our coalition partners. The potential of intercontinental missiles--armed with nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons--is a serious danger to the American homeland. Cordesman argues that an effective defense against these threats will require linking a national missile defense program to an ambitious counterproliferation strategy, a strengthened homeland defense program, and a realistic approach to arms control and national security options.
