In \u003ci\u003eNanoweapons \u003c\/i\u003eLouis A. Del Monte describes the most deadly generation of military weapons the world has ever encountered. With dimensions one-thousandth the diameter of a single strand of human hair, this technology threatens to eradicate humanity as it incites world governments to compete in the deadliest arms race ever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his insightful and prescient account of this risky and radical technology, Del Monte predicts that nanoweapons will dominate the battlefield of the future and will help determine the superpowers of the twenty-first century. He traces the emergence of nanotechnology, discusses the current development of nanoweapons--such as the \"mini-nuke,\" which weighs five pounds and carries the power of one hundred tons of TNT--and offers concrete recommendations, founded in historical precedent, for controlling their proliferation and avoiding human annihilation. Most critically, \u003ci\u003eNanoweapons\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the question: Will it be possible to develop, deploy, and use nanoweapons in warfare without rendering humanity extinct?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612348964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.09h x 6.11w x 1.04d","brand":"Louis a.
