About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xvii, [1], 200, [6] pages. Acronyms. Tables. Figures. Appendix. Notes. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Rensselaer (Rens) W. Lee III, a Senior Fellow at FPRI, is president of Global Advisory Services, a McLean, Virginia-based consulting firm. He is the author of Russia's Far East: New Dynamics in Asia Pacific and Beyond, Smuggling Armageddon: the Nuclear Black Market in the Former Soviet Union and Europe, and of numerous scholarly articles. Dr. Lee received his doctoral degree from Stanford University. He has performed overseas contract assignments for the State Department, the Department of Energy, the World Bank, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and other agencies, which have encompassed Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caribbean, and much of South America. During 2002-03, he worked as a research analyst at the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress, where he produced major reports on terrorist finance, nuclear smuggling and Afghanistan's opium-heroin trade. "Smuggling Armageddon" looks at one of the most troubling international concerns of the 1990s and beyond: the illegal trade in nuclear materials that has erupted in the Newly-Independent States and Europe since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Rensselaer Lee raises the seldom-asked question of whether such traffic poses a threat of consequence to international security and stability while showing readers a Russia beset with a variety of criminal proliferation channels, increasingly sophisticated smuggling operations, and nuclear stockpiles with breached security. "Smuggling Armageddon" is sure to provoke controversy and raise the specter of nuclear destruction once again.
