Review Quotes: This book addresses a distinct need in the WMD community--while there is ample literature on the major arms control treaties, these nonproliferation activities represent a very real and tangible program that needs to be better understood and examined. . . I would recommend it to anyone who works in the arms control community or who is seeking a better understanding of how the international community addresses WMD proliferation challenges.--Albert Mauroni "H-Net"
