Bridled ambition: Why countries constrain their nuclear capabilities
Reiss worked for the National Security Council on nonproliferation issues and thus brings a wealth of inside information to this study. Reiss examines nine countries that have voluntarily constrained, frozen, or eliminated their nuclear weapons programs. These counties are South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. Reiss has added an important contribution to the research of nuclear nonproliferation and shown us that occasionally deproliferation is a viable policy option. At a time when nuclear proliferation is becoming an increasingly ominous threat to global stability, Mitchell Reiss`s book provides the much-needed perspective. Thoroughly researched, systematic and probing in analysis, and significant in its conclusions.
