This book offers elegant theory and compelling evidence on the sources and efficacy of US nonproliferation efforts. Countering the claim that 'sanctions don't work,' Miller outlines the conditions under which they can be consequential. A must-have resource for experts and a growing audience attentive to these issues. -- Etel Solingen, Thomas T. and Elizabeth C. Tierney Chair in Peace and Conflict Studies, University of California Irvine

This is an intense and meticulously sourced study on the topic of nuclear weapons proliferation, beginning with America's introduction of the Atomic Age. Miller (Dartmouth) has refitted his doctoral dissertation theorizing on the extent of the effectiveness of America's foreign policy to limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons. His book provides a full explanation of America's policy with a time sequence necessarily focusing on the domino effect of states acquiring a nuclear weapons capability and the import of bureaucratic decisions on international political behavior. * Choice * Overall, Miller's book presents a thorough and compelling case for US sanctions policy for nonproliferation. Stopping the Bomb adds to our understanding of when and why sanctions policies are effective, serving as an excellent analysis of one of the hardest areas to study methodologically. As a result, the book serves as an important read. * H-Net *
