Controlling Non-Strategic Nuclear Weapons Obstacles and Opportunities

The issue of non-strategic nuclear weapons (NSNW), a serious military & political concern for more than a generation, seemed to vanish from the scene in the early post-Cold War years. But tactical nuclear weapons never really went away. This book addresses many of the fundamental issues surrounding NSNW. It is the result of a conference on NSNW held Nov. 2-3, 2000. Some 75 experts in arms control, nuclear weapons, & national security strategy from both sides of the political spectrum attended the conference, which was hosted by the Nat. Security Policy Div., Nuclear & Counter-proliferation Directorate, HQ U.S. Air Force (AF/XONP). Chapters: defining the NSNW problem; contending objectives; obstacles; & possible solutions.Larsen, Jeffrey A. is the author of 'Controlling Non-Strategic Nuclear Weapons Obstacles and Opportunities' with ISBN 9780756733285 and ISBN 0756733286.
