Terrorism, Dirty Bombs, and Weapons of Mass Destruction

By Jason Porterfield

Terror attacks are a number-one concern these days. While it is unlikely that terrorists could get their hands on a nuclear bomb, intelligence agencies do believe that it is only a matter of time before a dirty bomb, a conventional bomb armed with nuclear material, is used in a terror attack. This book discusses possible effects such a bomb would have, and outlines incidents of terror attacks, providing a powerful history of the development and use of weapons of mass destruction.
