In an era of world peace and the new world order, this book highlights the risks of the post cold war world and the threat of nuclear terrorism. The stories about the known capture of nuclear material outside the borders of the former USSR are enough to make you think about resurrecting your parents bomb shelter plans. When you contemplate the cases that are not known it makes you want to leave the planet. I found myself engrossed in the book to the point of having to return to reality and to remember that the accounts in the book are not fictional. SCARY! A must read.
From Amazon.com
The authors have written a very engaging book on the potential for loss of control of nuclear weapons and materials due to the lack of security, crime and poverty in the former Soviet Union. The most complete, unclassified review of the "Loose Nuc's" issue ever published. Although the book primarily focuses on the potential of nuclear weapons and weapons making materials falling into the wrong hands, it should provoke disaster scenarios in the reader's mind that will have them burning up the phone lines to the politicians. The amount of never before released material contained in this book makes me wonder if the higher echelons of our government are preparing the American public for a potential diaster or fearing a disaster are seeking public support to prevent it.
