Author Description

"How to Build a Nuclear Bomb is not a collection of scare stories; in it, nuclear weapons and terrorism expert, Frank Barnaby, describes in straightforward non-sensational terms what is involved when a state or a terrorist group sets out to make a weapon of mass destruction - biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear. He explains what a weapon of mass destruction is, what it is capable of doing, and what is needed to produce one and argues that counter-terrorist measures urgently need to be stepped up to meet the challenges of a new era of international terror."--Jacket.
