Creators
Description
The author reviews the history of the nuclear age and traces the erosion of the technical barriers to nuclearization. Those countries most likely to obtain the bomb are identified, and their reasons to seek nuclear capability are discussed. The author describes in detail the grave risks of proliferation in certain countries, arguing that proliferation could undermine the present structure of the international system as the acquisition of nuclear weapons alters the distribution of power
