The <i>Midlife Crisis of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty</i> should be required reading on campus, on Capitol Hill, at Foggy Bottom, at the Vienna International Center and in Geneva for anyone interested in or involved in nuclear energy, nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear disarmament. Pete Pella navigates confidently (and at times wryly) through the complexities of past and current nuclear dilemmas without losing sight of what’s at stake. This articulate, beautifully written and slim volume weaves science and policy seamlessly to the benefit of both communities.
