Description
Book SynopsisMost books on missile proliferation focus on the spread of ballistic missiles or cruise missiles, not both.
Trade Review"Gormley (Univ. of Pittsburgh) systematically and effectively lays out the often underestimated threat of cruise missile proliferation. . . . Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." -
Choice"The strength of Gormley’s approach is that
Missile Contagion is structured to address issues of interest to multiple audiences—international security analysts, academics, and policymakers. Failing to heed his unambiguous warnings will increase the likelihood that the missile contagion will spread unchecked, and the United States, along with its allies and friends, will confront a world unnecessarily more dangerous.' " -
The Nonproliferation Review"For all those who want to understand this threat and what can and must be done about it, Gormley’s book is an indispensable guide." -
Parameters"[Gormley's] exhaustive treatment of missile proliferation makes
Missile Contagion an important analysis of nonproliferation regimes, the subtle interrelation of cruise and ballistic missiles, and the strategic import of defenses against them." -
