Graham Allison's Nuclear Terrorism is absolutely first-rate. Our survival as a civilization may well depend more than anything else on our heeding the recommendations of this chilling and superbly crafted book.” —R. James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence
“Graham Allison is a latter day Paul Revere, calling citizens to arms against the real and rising threat of nuclear terrorism. In clear, readable words of wisdom, Allison tells us ‘everything we ever wanted to know about nuclear terrorism,' but he also tells us what we must do to prevent nuclear terrorism. For everyone from national security specialists trying to define a strategy to parents who want to leave their children a world worth living in, Graham Allison's book is essential reading.” —Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator and co-chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative
“Graham Allison has produced a book that it is truly alarming about the danger of nuclear terror — yet optimistic about our prospects if we do all that we could and should. One only hopes it is read and heeded.” —Richard Haass, president, Council on Foreign Relations
“In an era of color-coded terror alerts and rigorous security checks, Allison provides a rare dose of alarmism well informed.” —The Boston Globe
“Allison goes beyond the usual hand-wringing about a nuclear-armed Al Qaeda. He presents sharp critiques of White House failures to tackle the problem and proposes concrete solutions.” —Newsweek
“Allison applies a long, distinguished career in government and academia to this sobering—indeed frightening—presentation of U.S. vulnerability to a terrorist nuclear attack.” —Publishers Weekly
“Addressing general readers, Allison comprehensively discusses the perilous situation. Required for the current affairs shelf.” —Booklist
