{"product_id":"the-arms-race-and-nuclear-martin-gitlin-9781534501379","title":"The Arms Race and Nuclear Proliferation","description":"Following the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the twentieth century was haunted by the specter of nuclear annihilation. Locked in a hostile embrace, the U.S. and the USSR engaged in a ruinous arms race preparing for the kind of war no one wanted and no one could win. Though the Cold War ended, the dangers of nuclear proliferation remain, with poorly secured nuclear weapons and materials vulnerable to theft, sale, accident, or misuse. The many debates over the years surrounding the arms race, proliferation, deterrence, and security are collected here to provide readers with a fine-grained sense of the international tensions, political urgency, diplomatic strategies, and global fears that have long underlined the effort to build and maintain nuclear arsenals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Gitlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1534501371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781534501379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhaven Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2018 pg. 98","brand":"Martin Gitlin","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48065688764671,"sku":"9781534501379","price":49.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9614f9ac-34f8-434f-a431-8dde2bf0761e.jpg?v=1768676606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-arms-race-and-nuclear-martin-gitlin-9781534501379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
