FROM THE PUBLISHER'S PREFACE

This book is one of a series of publications released by the Academy of Political Science on timely subjects of special importance in the fields of public and international affairs. The Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons: Extending the U.S. Umbrella and Increasing the Chance of War brings together essays from Political Science Quarterly that explore topics of central and ongoing importance in American nuclear policy toward the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. In addition to examining the proliferation of nuclear capacity and the increased risk of nuclear war, the book explores the links between non-proliferation, arms control, and extended deterrence.
