> New Nukes is a sharp critique of India and Pakistan's nuclearization and its
> impact on the prospect for global disarmament, as well as on South Asian
> societies, politics and security. It argues that nuclear weapons possession has
> degraded India and Pakistan's security. Rather than assert independence, the
> two states have slavishly imitated the Great Powers and created new dangers in
> the region.
> 
> The book builds a moral, political and economic case against reliance on
> nuclear weapons for security, and pleads for practical steps towards the
> complete global abolition of nuclear weapons.
