Book Description

Calls to "ban the bomb" are as old as the bomb itself, but the pace and organization of nonproliferation campaigns have picked up greatly recently. But is it realistic or even wise to envision a world, which remains dangerous, divided, and unpredictable, without nuclear weapons? More and more people seem to think so. O'Hanlon clearly presents the dangers of nuclear weapons and the advantages of disarmament as a goal, with temporary suspension of restrictions remaining a necessity in response to urgent threats such as nuclear "cheating" or discovery of an advanced biological weapons program. For the near term, traditional approaches to arms control, including dismantling existing bomb inventories, can pave the way to make a true nonproliferation regime possible in the decades ahead.
