Carlisle, PA: Strategic Studies Institute, U. S. Army War College, 2004. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.. ix, [1], 132 p. Illustrations. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "The fear about what Iran might do with nuclear weapons is fed by the concern that Tehran has no clear reason to be pursuing nuclear weapons. The strategic rationale for Iran's nuclear program is by no means obvious. Unlike proliferators such as Israel or Pakistan, Iran faces no historic enemy who would welcome an opportunity to wipe the state off the face of the earth. Mr. Henry D. Sokolski is the Executive Director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC). He previously served as Deputy for Nonproliferation Policy in the Department of Defense, and has worked in the Office of Net Assessment, and as a member of the CIA s Senior Advisory Group. He served on both the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism in 2008 and the Deutch WMD (weapons of mass destruction) Proliferation Commission in 1999.
