Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East

The numerous wars and constant tensions among the states of the Middle East have made the region fertile ground for the development of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Some Middle Eastern countries are trying to acquire WMD to compensate for conventional weapons imbalances or to match WMD programs undertaken by neighbouring states. This book examines the different countries of the Middle East and their nuclear, biological and chemical weapons capabilities.Kenneth Katzman is the author of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East' with ISBN 9781590331460 and ISBN 159033146X.
