Dr. Strangelove, I Presume (Hardcover)

The Cold War may have ended, but the arms race has not. In May 1998, India resumed the underground testing of nuclear weapons. Pakistan responded with tests of its own - and all of a sudden the arms race was on again. Not that it ever stopped: China, Israel, Iran and Iraq have been pursuing weapons-building programmes and the ultimate horror of nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists draws ever near.;In this book, Michael Foot looks back over 40 years of fighting the nuclear menace and surveys the world scene at the close of the 20th century as a warning of the continuing danger of building weapons of mass destruction.
