Tag hinzufügen | Beschreibung: | A detailed and updated chronology highlights major events between 1939-2007 pertaining to the buildup of nuclear weapons and the efforts to control and dismantle them. Analyzes both U.S. and international perspectives on the important debates over nuclear proliferation, arms control, terrorism, health and environmental implications, and other issues related to nuclear weapons. Explains current U.S. policies on the deterrent and military roles of nuclear weapons and on the steps that U.S. and international organizations are taking to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and materials. Includes biographical sketches of 21 important individuals involved with nuclear weapons technologies, including international scientists, spies, antinuclear activists, policymakers, and military officials. Primary documents include an excerpt from the 1945 U.S. report on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the text of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and the UN resolution sanctioning North Korea for its nuclear test. |
