Death Dust explores the largely unknown history of the development of radiological weapons (RW)--weapons designed to disperse radioactive material without a nuclear detonation--through a series of comparative case studies across the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Iraq, and Egypt. The authors illuminate the historical drivers of and impediments to radiological weapons innovation. They also examine how new, dire geopolitical events--such as the war in Ukraine--could encourage other states to pursue RW and analyze the impact of the spread of such weapons on nuclear deterrence and the nonproliferation regime. Death Dust presents practical, necessary steps to reduce the likelihood of a resurgence of interest in and pursuit of radiological weapons by state actors"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDirty bombs$xGovernment policy$xHistory 606 $aMilitary weapons$xTechnological innovations$xHistory 606 $aMilitary policy$xHistory 615 0$aDirty bombs$xGovernment policy$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary weapons$xTechnological innovations$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary policy$xHistory. 676 $a355/.0335 700 $aPotter$b William C$0303517 701 $aBidgood$b Sarah$01793329 701 $aMeyer$b Samuel$01793330 701 $aNotte$b Hanna$01793331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984659003321 996 $aDeath Dust$94333037 997 $aUNINA
