This culminating volume in Richard Rhodes's history of nuclear weapons offers the first comprehensive narrative of post-Cold War nuclear challenges. It examines the nuclear turning point the present day represents and casts a hopeful eye to the future. Rhodes makes clear how the five original nuclear powers-Russia, Great Britain, France, China, and especially the United States-have struggled with new realities. Finally, he imagines what a postnuclear world might look like, and what might make it possible.

The United Nations and Nuclear Orders sheds light on the past, present, and future roles of the UN in responding to the threats and challenges posed by nuclear weapons. This book examines UN actors, tools, and issues associated with the changing nature of the environment in which it operates; the ways in which it has and might respond to technological and political problems; and the questions and difficulties that arise for the world organization. Issues covered in the book include doctrinal questions on the use of force, the regional dynamics of nuclear proliferation, and growing concern that the nuclear order established by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty may collapse or simply be overtaken by events.
