ITEM OVERVIEW
One of the few up-to-date works on the whole of the arms trade, this No-Nonsense Guide puts the global trade in weapons in the context of history. Despite the cynicism, bribery, and corruption that characterize trade, it continues to receive government backing and UN Security Council member states are the biggest exporters of arms, often to repressive regimes.
Nicholas Gilby, who led Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT)"s efforts to expose the corruption at the heart of Britain's arms deals with Saudi Arabia, uses the latest evidence to provide a valuable and critical introduction to the most destructive business.
