Summary:
"This volume explores the characteristics and risks in the new nuclear age, which is populated by potentially more nuclear states with less reliable and smaller nuclear arsenals, often best by volatile domestic politics, face more and more intense rivalries, and operate in a novel information environment-a situation we have never previously confronted and which carries heightened risks of advertent and inadvertent nuclear use"-- Provided by publisher.
