Professor Beres considers the factors that might foster such terrorism, the forms it might take, and the probable consequences of each form. He then identifies a coherent strategy of counternuclear terrorism, one that embraces both technological and behavioral measures, that suggests policies for deterrence and situation management on both national and international levels, and that points toward a major refashioning of world order.Westview special studies in national and international terrorism.TerrorismNuclear terrorismTerrorism.Nuclear terrorism.301.633Beres Louis René675819OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910793646403321Terrorism and global security3832605UNINA
