Reviews

Keck’s historical study of countries that have “gone nuclear” could not be more timely or clear: It is a net deficit to U.S. and international security when allies and partners acquire nuclear weapons. At a time when countries are re-evaluating their non-nuclear status, this book explains why U.S. policymakers must prioritize assuring allies and partners of their security without nuclear weapons. Keck’s book offers a clarion warning against under-valuing the national security benefits of sustaining and strengthening nonproliferation policies and norms while advancing key geostrategic relationships and national security priorities. -- Lynn Rusten, Vice President, Global Nuclear Policy Program, Nuclear Threat Initiative; and former Senior Director for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, White House National Security Council
