Although WMD research has accelerated since September 11, 2001, much of this scholarship is hard to find, forcing nonspecialists to fall back on gut instinct and Beltway clichés. This book provides a review of what scientists and scholars know about WMD terrorism and America's options for confronting it. It also identifies multiple instances in which the conventional wisdom is incomplete or misleading.Weapons of mass destruction terrorismWeapons of mass destructionWeapons of mass destructionGovernment policyUnited StatesTerrorismUnited StatesPreventionTerrorismGovernment policyUnited StatesNational securityUnited StatesSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/GeneralSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/International Relations & SecurityWeapons of mass destruction.Weapons of mass destructionGovernment policyTerrorismPrevention.TerrorismGovernment policyNational security363.325/3Maurer Stephen M1525703OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910778555303321WMD terrorism3767252UNINA
