About this book
This comprehensively updated second edition provides an introduction to the political, normative, technological and strategic aspects of nuclear weaponry.

This book will help you to understand what nuclear weapons are, the science behind their creation and operation, why states build them in the first place, and whether it will be possible for the world to banish these weapons entirely.
