Synopsis

This is a study of the dangers nations face from weapons of mass destruction and the successes and failures of international nonproliferation efforts. This proliferation atlas documents with maps, charts, and graphs the spread of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and missile delivery systems. The book describes the weapons and the regimes that try to control them; it also details the countries that have, want, or have given up weapons of mass destruction. It offers a comprehensive assessment on the subject as well as updated data from the book "Tracking Nuclear Proliferation: A Guide in Maps and Charts", 1998. It should be a valuable resource for policymakers, scholars, students, and the media.
