| Zusammenfassung: | Terrorism by means of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has been studied for decades - since the Cold War and fears of secret agents with suitcase-sized atomic bombs. Although WMD research has accelerated since September 11, 2001, much of this scholarship is hard to find, forcing nonspecialists to fall back on gut instinct and Beltway clichés. This book provides a review of what scientists and scholars know about WMD terrorism and America's options for confronting it. It also identifies multiple instances in which the conventional wisdom is incomplete or misleading. |

| spelling | WMD terrorism : science and policy choices / edited by Stephen M. Maurer. Weapons of mass destruction terrorism Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, ©2009. 1 online resource (x, 608 pages) : illustrations, maps text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 521-587) and index. Print version record. Terrorism by means of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has been studied for decades - since the Cold War and fears of secret agents with suitcase-sized atomic bombs. Although WMD research has accelerated since September 11, 2001, much of this scholarship is hard to find, forcing nonspecialists to fall back on gut instinct and Beltway clichés. This book provides a review of what scientists and scholars know about WMD terrorism and America's options for confronting it. It also identifies multiple instances in which the conventional wisdom is incomplete or misleading. Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction: Worrying about WMD Terrorism / Stephen M.
