"This book is a lively and genuine dialogue between two leading authorities on an issue of great importance for both scholarship and public policy." -- Robert Jervis - Columbia University "This important book clearly and succinctly lays out the opposing views on whether nuclear proliferation makes the world more or less peaceful. . . . I can't think of a better book to recommend on the ABCs of nuclear proliferation." -- John J. Mearsheimer - University of ChicagoMore details
