This interdisciplinary book examines the evolving nuclear predicament and considers particular strategies to cope with and shape the nuclear future. This book reflects the changes brought to nuclear issues by the end of the cold war. The Nuclear Predicament focuses on four main themes, allowing students to understand new nuclear situations—militarily, politically, socially, and ethically— as they arise. Appropriate for anyone with an interest in Nuclear Issues, American Foreign Policy, International Relations, Global Issues, and Contemporary History.

Multidisciplinary in approach, Nuclear Weapons, Nuclear States and Terrorism is appropriate for any course that focuses on war and peace, conflict resolution, arms control, or peace studies. The new edition brings the nuclear discussion into the post 9/11 world. In addition to providing the students with a solid grounding in the nuclear developments of the cold war, the text gives detailed consideration to such contemporary topics as nuclear terrorism, the actual or potential proliferation of nuclear weapons to nations such as Iran and North Korea, and the Bush administration's war on Iraq based (partly) on the premise that the United States could not tolerate a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein.
