Niche Threat: Deterring the Use of Chemical and Biological Weapons

No Customer Reviews

Addresses concerns over the"niche" threat -- the use of chemical or biological weapons by countries who lack the conventional power to challenge the U.S., but who do possess the resources and know-how to possibly resort to weapons of mass destruction. Discusses the need to establish a new set of assumptions for framing U.S. chemical and biological weapons planning. Provides an overview of the nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons environment, its implications for U.S. forces abroad and in the field, and examines the issue of deterrence. Authors include: Brad Roberts, Jerome Kahan, Keith Payne, and Leon Sloss.
