Nuclear Arms Control in Peril

Reviews / Votes

"Even as the risks of global nuclear conflict and proliferation in East Asia and the Middle East surge, attention to arms control languishes. Thomas Grant peers into the likely future of arms control and makes a fresh, powerful, and persuasive case for reviving the Non-Proliferation Treaty, arguing against both the heedless neglect of arms control and recklessly utopian disarmament." Michael A. Reynolds, Princeton University "This timely book should be a wake-up call to policymakers contemplating today's contested geopolitical environment. In an era in which anxiety has returned about failures of deterrence and the nuclear dimension of great power competition, Thomas D. Grant has produced a clarion call for a return to arms control through the diplomacy of non-proliferation." John Bew, King's College London "Dr Grant makes a well-informed, compelling and urgent case for reviving the NPT, the only viable multilateral route for nuclear arms control." Lord Verdirame, KC





"Tom Grant presents well-researched arguments to bring nuclear weapons control into the 21st century. He underscores the peril we face with good case studies and invaluable questions for practitioners to ponder. This short and readable book exposes what's at stake for us all." Peter Shannon, Retired Ambassador and former Permanent Representative to the IAEA and Board Governor
