Breaking Up with the Bomb: South Africa's Short Relationship

Breaking Up with the Bomb: South Africa's Short Relationship with Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear weapons are inarguably the most dangerous weapons humankind has ever devised. In spite of their highest threat to the existence of mankind, there are nine countries in the world that possess them, and also many other countries that aspire to obtain them. South Africa is not only the only country in Africa to â€œgo nuclearâ€ and then dismantle the nuclear weapons completely, but it is also the only country in the world to do that so far to date. Why did they â€œgo nuclearâ€ and why did they denuclearize? This books shows that South Africa is a very interesting case study for scholars for generations to come, due to its uniqueness in proliferation, disarmament and also the problem of post-disarmament.
