Description
Summary:When the Soviet empire disintegrated in 1991, U.S. fears of nuclear annihilation receded with it. But today there is chilling evidence that Americans face a new kind of nuclear menace, not from a rival superpower but from terrorist groups and even individuals. Witness the arrest of an American accused of trying to develop a dirty bomb; a diagram discovered for a nuclear device at an Al-Qaeda safe house in Kabul; dozens of reported cases of attempted theft and sales of nuclear and radioactive material. Nuclear Terror asks: what is the threat of nuclear terror from rogue nations? What is the reality? And what can we do to protect ourselves? The answers can be chilling.
