He reveals the heated discussionstaking place in Washington and in nuclear-weaponslaboratories, and spotlights current threats and the franticefforts of America and its allies to prevent the spread offissile materials.Meticulously researched and compellingly told, The Partnership demands that we turn our attention to an issuethat has the potential to alter our world order.
