From the publisher:
North Korea has the bomb, as do eight other countries. Iran is developing the capacity to make one. Behind them, more than 30 other countries, including Japan, Egypt, Ukraine, Brazil, Turkey, Venezuela, and South Korea have the potential to become nuclear powers in the years ahead. Arjun Makhijani, one of the world's leading experts on nuclear proliferation, explains why the world could be on the brink of President Kennedy's nightmare - dozens of nuclear states, all threatening to use these apocalyptic weapons against one another. How can the global community stop the frightening rush to nuclear standoffs around the globe? This up-to-the-minute book reveals the untold story of the nuclear arms race in North Korea and Iran and how we can stop the spread of nuclear weapons before it's too late.
