Summary:

"Through a close analysis of key cases, Keck examines the impact that acquiring nuclear arsenals had after US allies developed them. By examining existing and recently declassified documents, original archival research, and interviews with US officials, this important study challenges conventional wisdom on Washington's nuclear containment strategy"-- Provided by publisher.
