Produktbeschreibung

Although in the early 1990s, nearly fifty countries had a nuclear capacity, and many more were close to it, only a handful were actually in possession of nuclear weapons. David Fischer's book, originally published in 1992, addresses the problem of how to prevent the wider acquisition of such weapons.
