Atomic Friends
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-6971-1 (ISBN)
Using historical case studies, this book shines a light on this increasingly pressing issue. Keck examines the impact that acquiring nuclear arsenals had after our allies developed them. It achieves this by examining existing and recently declassified documents, original archival research, and— for the Israel and especially Pakistan cases— interviews with U.S. officials who worked on the events in question.
Zachary Keck has written on nuclear issues and U.S. security for the media, think tanks, and U.S. Congress, including over a 1,000 articles on U.S. security with a special focus on non-proliferation and nuclear weapons. His writings have appeared in numerous outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, CNN.com, The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Hill, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and countless others. Keck has been quoted or cited by numerous other outlets including USA Today, Bloomberg News, Reuters, Huffington Post, BBC, Vox, and RealClearPolitics. He has been a researcher at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and a fellow at the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. For the last three years, Keck has worked in Congress, mostly as a Professional Staff Member for the House Foreign Affairs Committee, including the Subcommittee on Nonproliferation. In this role, he has written nonproliferation legislation— including dealing with Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program, as well as conducting oversight over civilian nuclear cooperation agreements. He has also written four studies on nuclear proliferation for the Office of Net Assessment at the Department of Defense.
