Overview"The 1991 War in the Gulf has highlighted the dangers of non-conventional weapons and ballistic missile proliferation in the Third World in general and in the Middle East in particular. The employment by the Iraqis of ballistic missiles against Saudi Arabia and Israel, the possibility that Saddam Hussein could have decided to use chemical or biological weapons, and debates over the status of Iraq's nuclear programme were certainly key features of the crisis and war of the early 1990s. The dangers of non-conventional-weapons proliferation are not confined to Iraq: both ballistic missiles and chemical weapons are widespread and a number of countries continue with biological weapons research. At least one already deploys a sizeable nuclear arsenal. These capabilities have important implications for regional and international security, as well as for the arms trade and multi-lateral arms-control regimes. This volume contains papers on all aspects of non-conventional-weapons proliferation in the post-Gulf War period. Efraim Karsh was co-author of ""The Gulf Conflict: Diplomacy and War in the New World Order"" and also wrote ""Neutrality and Small State"". Philip Sabin is the author of ""The Third World War Scare in Britain""." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Efraim Karsh , Martin S.
