Review: In these days of real terrorism, we need real books not rehashed grad school junk. Put this down and go for current journals. PL or PU?

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Questionable scholarship along with an obvious desire to make a little supplemental income leaves this "work" wanting.

Review: Save your money and read political science journals and reputable newspapers (of which there a few) for updated, relevant information.

Summary: Simply the Best on the Topic
Review: There are only a few books that the scholar of "third world" nuclear doctrine will find helpful. This is one of the few. The chapter on Iraq's chemical arsenal, in partuclar, is very informative. This is not a history or even a strategic study of the dangers of proliferation. It is an attempt to understand how military doctrine integrates weapons of mass destruction in different institutional and political contexts. This edited volume is far from perfect, but it is the best broad survey of this particular subject.

Summary: Not perfect, but full of solid research and facts
Review: This book is written in an academic style and format. Despite the exciting cover, it is *not* light reading, nor is it written for a popular audience. Basically, each chapter is written by a different expert in the field. There's a chapter on terrorism, a chapter on the India-Pakistan nuclear dilemma, and so on. I found this book to be fascinating because of the wealth of facts contained inside. Is this book a page-turning thriller? Heck no! But is it full of useful research material and expert analyses seldom found elsewhere? You betcha.
