OverviewIn Eliminating Nuclear Weapons, Tom Sauer explores the consideration for the end of nuclear weapons and the two avenues of action for leading powers: making missile defense a mandatory precondition for arriving at a nuclear weapons-free world or deemphasizing missile defense in favor of other strategies. Missile defense seems to have moved from idea to concrete reality. Even the Obama administration spends close to ten billion dollars a year on the item. This includes land- and sea-based systems in and around Europe, and eventually nuclear elimination and missile defense will either strengthen or weaken each other. The ultimate nightmare is the advent of nuclear terrorism, a forbidding combination of ideology and technology extremely difficult to combat. In a timely and urgent study, Sauer analyzes these outcomes and the measures governments can undertake to mitigate disaster.
