Description

The proliferation of chemical, biologial and nuclear weapons is now the single most serious security concern for governments around the world. This text compares how military threats, strategic cultures and organizations shape the way leaders intend to employ these armaments. It reveals the many frightening ways that emerging military powers and terrorist groups are planning the unthinkable by preparing to use chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in future conflicts. The contributing specialists consider several states and organizations that have this weaponry; Iraq, Iran, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, as well as the Aum Shinrikyo cult. They expose plans for using unconventional weapons, highlighting the revolutionary effects these arsenals might have on international politics and regional disputes.
