"Bomb Scare" provides a comprehensive history of nuclear weapons development, proliferation, and the strategies surrounding them. Joseph Cirincione traces the origins from the atomic discoveries of the 1930s through the Cold War era to contemporary challenges involving nations like Iran. He examines the science, politics, and policies that have shaped nuclear arsenals and assesses the risks of nuclear terrorism. The book also explores reasons why some nations abstain from pursuing nuclear capabilities and proposes balanced approaches combining diplomacy and enforcement to reduce global nuclear threats.
