Nukes

By Steve Minneus

For more than sixty years, nuclear weapons have cast a frightening shadow over world politics. From their first use in 1945, these incredibly destructive weapons have influenced nearly every government's military policy. While there are strict international laws regarding the possession and development of nuclear weapons, even they cannot stop nuclear proliferation. This book tells the high stakes story of nuclear technology, its proliferation, and the tense scramble to prevent nuclear weapons from getting in the wrong hands.
