"Nuclear chemical and biological weapons or weapons of mass destruction (WMD), present a serious danger in today's world. This pertinent and topical volume takes a hardheaded look at the threat that India could face from these weapons." "Unique in its content, among the strong points of this volume is the detailed description of efforts required to set up material and human resources to respond to such catastrophes. With its comprehensive coverage of both practical and policy issues, it will attract the attention of scholars, defence strategists and serving personnel in the armed forces."--Jacket.
