How to Build a Nuclear Bomb explains what it takes for a rogue state or terrorist group to obtain and use them. But nuclear weapons and terrorism expert Frank Barnaby has not written a collection of scare stories. His purpose in <i>How to Build a Nuclear Bomb </i>is to counteract the misinformation, often put out for propaganda purposes and general ignorance on this most urgent of topics. 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, what they are capable of doing, and what is needed to produce one. By outlining the parameters of the problem, Barnaby is able to accurately gauge the threat that WMD pose, arguing that counterterrorist measures urgently need to be stepped up to meet the challenges of a new era of international terror.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A straightforward and unhysterical guide to some of the more hair-raising nuclear, chemical and biological threats that have dominated the post-11 September world."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frank Barnaby</b> is a nuclear physicist by training.
