Synopsis

Focusing on terrorism, this work explores how terrorist renegades could detonate a weapon of mass destruction. The author argues that advances in technology are making atrocities almost inevitable - whether it be the planting of a crude atomic bomb or the release of nerve gas in a city-centre. He also aims to prove that certain countries are attempting to acquire their own crude atomic bombs. The book also looks at how "cyber-terrorism" - weapons which destroy a nation's infrastructure by attacking critical computer systems - is becoming a real threat.
