The best place to begin the study of nuclear weapons is the pages of the

Bulletin’s

Whole World on Fire: Organizations, Knowledge, and Nuclear Weapons Devastation (Cornell University Press, 2004). The best introduction to the threat posed by nuclear terrorists is Graham Allison,

Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe (Times Books, 2004); also useful are Scott D. Sagan and Kenneth N. Waltz,

The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate Renewed (W. W. Norton, 2003) and Joseph Cirincione, Jon Wolfstahl, and Miriam Rajkumar,

Deadly Arsenals: Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Threats (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2005).
