Description

Explore the evolving landscape of international security in Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction: Assessing the U.S. Government's Policy. This book examines how the Cold War term 'weapons of mass destruction' persists despite major shifts in military concepts, technology, and political cultures. As the definition of WMD expands to cover everything from small amounts of ricin and industrial chemicals to massive nuclear weapons, the ability to develop accurate policy becomes more difficult. This text analyzes the impact of grouping nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons alongside biological, chemical, and radiological (CBR) hazards under a single label. Part of the Weapons of Mass Destruction and Emerging Technologies series, this work provides a deep look at how terminology affects national security strategies. It is an essential resource for those studying military history, strategy, and the complexities of modern global defense.
