Non-Proliferation Treaties: Successes, Failures and Loopholes ebook

Since the dawn of the nuclear age, nations have sought to control the uncontrollable—preventing the spread of weapons capable of erasing civilization. This book examines the complex history of non-proliferation treaties, from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to modern agreements and quiet violations. It explores moments of diplomatic triumph and disillusionment, showing how ideals of security collide with national ambition and technological reality. "Non-Proliferation Treaties" combines archival research, political analysis, and moral reflection to trace how international law struggles to regulate ultimate power. Beyond formal documents, it investigates covert programs, enforcement weaknesses, and changing definitions of deterrence in a multipolar world. The result is an unflinching study of how humanity's attempts at restraint reveal both its wisdom and its fragility.
