On May 11, 1998, India changed the global landscape by testing nuclear weapons, defying international norms and marking the end of a long-standing arms control system. This pivotal moment was followed by Pakistan's tests and signifies the resurgence of technologically advanced military powers in Asia, reminiscent of the sixteenth century. From Israel to North Korea, countries in a 6,000-mile crescent are developing missiles armed with atomic, biological, or chemical warheads, raising significant concerns for the future. In this landmark study, Paul Bracken, a Yale professor, reveals critical insights about the Iraqi missile and biological warfare programs, highlighting Israel's near-experience with a germ attack during the Gulf War. He challenges the comforting notion that globalization will lead to peaceful competition among Asian nations, arguing instead that economic growth facilitates the development of weapons of mass destruction. Bracken also discusses the increasing threats to American bases and interests posed by rising Asian nationalism and offers guidance for navigating what he terms The Second Nuclear Age. He critiques the outdated mindsets of policymakers shaped by past conflicts like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Gulf War, advocating for a new intellectual framework to address the complexities of a world where the U.S. stands as the sole superpower. This work serves as a vital guide for understanding the fu.…

On May 11, 1998, India began testing nuclear weapons. The world will never be the same. The Indian test of five atomic bombs, and the Pakistani tests that answered a few weeks later, marked the end of the arms control system that has kept the world from nuclear war for half a century. Bracken explains in this landmark study, they signal the reemergence of something the world hasn't seen since the sixteenth century-modern technologically adept military powers on the mainland of Asia. Bracken reveals several alarming trends and secrets, such as how close Israel actually came to a germ warfare attack during the Gulf War, why "globalization" will spur the development of weapons of mass destruction, how American interests are endangered by Asian nationalism, and how to navigate the second nuclear age. This is a provocative account of how the Western monopoly on modern arms is coming to an end, and how it will transform America's role on the stage of international politics.
