Editorial Reviews
Review
The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism is the best--the most informative, the clearest, the most authoritative, the soberest--of all the books on its subject. It will be indispensable to anyone who wishes to weigh the dreadful dangers it describes.

There is no failure of imagination here; this volume brims with it.

Ferguson and Potter have made the unthinkable thinkable! Both laymen and experts will find this finely crafted, clearly written volume an invaluable resource for understanding the security issue of our time... Those in Washington charged with protecting our nation in the post-9/11 world will do well to heed both the sense of urgency and the practical measures these veteran researchers compellingly present within these covers.

There is no greater threat the nation faces than the combination of terrorists and nuclear arms. This meticulous study, by five leading experts, provides a full overview of the challenges we face, and points to actions that must be taken. No student of these issues can afford to miss reading this volume.

To understand the risks and the practical steps we can take to prevent the ultimate catastrophe, there is no better place to start than The Four Faces of Nuclear Terrorism. I recommend it to my students and to my colleagues; I recommend it to you. If our political leaders simply followed the recommendations in this study, we could reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism to near zero.
