How to Build a Nuclear Bomb and other weapons of mass
And Other Weapons of Mass Destruction
by Frank Barnaby ✦ Review by David Lorimer, August 2004
A sober analysis of where we are on WMD and described in the Guardian as 'perhaps not a book to have in your bag as you pass through airport security'. The context is of course post-9/11 and 21st century security. Barnaby describes nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and what they do, moving on to an analysis of their role in relation to states. Finally and most chillingly, the issue of WMDs and terrorism, ending up with a note on the potential impact of cyberterrorism.This book must effectively be the A Pair of Cranks
