The International Arms Trade
"This book explores the complexities and realities of the global conventional weapons trade. It traces the history of the arms trade and examines how it has evolved since the end of the Cold War.

The book also looks closely at the devastating effect the business can have on countries, societies and individuals, and concludes with an evaluation of the various existing control strategies and the potential for future control opportunities." --Book Jacket.
