    Read what people are saying about Cirincione’s latest book, Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons.

    "[ Bomb Scare] ought to be read by everyone as a matter of life and death." -- Jason Epstein, New York Review of Books.

    "Succinct and smart, informed by insight drawn from long experience, Bomb Scare is the best one-volume examination of the history and challenges of the nuclear arms race yet written." -- Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb

    "Joseph Cirincione has written a 'must read' book for students, scholars, and policymakers alike. He has clearly captured the essence of where we have been, where we are today, and practical options for the future." -- General (ret.) Eugene Habiger, former Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Strategic Command

    "At a time of challenges and uncertainties regarding the nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime, Joseph Cirincione's Bomb Scare offers a comprehensive review of the history and theory of nuclear weapons, as well as of the policy options before us today in our common endeavour to address the most pressing threats -- existing arsenals, the emergence of new nuclear-armed states, and nuclear terrorism...His insightful analysis goes beyond the focus on 'proliferation barriers' and echoes the increasingly vocal call in the international community to address the root causes of proliferation --persistent conflicts and perceptions of insecurity. Cirincione concludes that reducing nuclear risks in the twenty-first century cannot just be a military or nuclear energy strategy; rather, we must look at resolving underlying political conflicts that are the drivers of nuclear proliferation and competition…" -- Mohamed ElBaradei, winner of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize and Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency
