About this ebook
Offering a clear analysis of the danger of nuclear terrorism and how it can be prevented, The Partnership sheds light on one of the most divisive security issues facing Washington today. Award-winning New York Times journalist Philip Taubman illuminates our vulnerability in the face of this pressing terrorist threat—and the unlikely efforts of five key Cold War players to eliminate the nuclear arsenal they helped create. Bob Woodward calls The Partnership a “brilliant, penetrating study of nuclear threats, present and past,” and David Kennedy writes that it is “indispensable reading for all who would understand the desperate urgency of containing the menace of nuclear proliferation.”
This indispensable study of American foreign policy reveals:
- An Unlikely Bipartisan Partnership: The untold story of how former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and George Shultz joined with defense secretary William Perry and Senator Sam Nunn to dismantle the very nuclear arsenal they helped build.
- Twenty-First-Century Nuclear Dangers: A clear-eyed analysis of the shift from Cold War deterrence to the urgent, modern danger of nuclear materials falling into the hands of terrorists.
- A Quest for Disarmament: Follows the five Cold Warriors on their personal journeys, tracing how they came to believe the only way to ensure global security was to pursue a world free of nuclear weapons.
- High-Stakes Diplomacy: An insider’s account of their campaign, from the landmark Wall Street Journal op-ed to private meetings in Washington, Moscow, and beyond.
