As the insurgency continues to plague Iraq and coalition forces struggle to maintain control, this book seeks to answer the question of how the Iraq War came about.

President Obama and the UK Labour and Coalition governments have all backed the renewed momentum for serious progress towards a world free of nuclear weapons, whilst the UK finds itself embarked on a controversial and expensive programme to renew its Trident nuclear weapons system. What does the UK process tell about the prospects for disarmament?

Offers an examination of America's nuclear weapons policy since the end of the Cold War. Exploring nuclear forces structure, arms control, regional planning and the weapons production complex, this volume identifies sets of ideas about nuclear weapons and domestic political constraints on major shifts in policy.
