Pressure for the future spread of nuclear power for both peaceful and military purposes has been recently noticeable expecially in the Middle East. Virtually all countries in the region have expressed an interest in utilizing at least some aspect of atomic power, and in this monograph Dr. Norman Cigar examines the status of such thinking in post-Saddam Iraq. Public discussions in Iraq are surprisingly free, and one can find a willingness to express a range of views, even on a sensitive topic such as nuclear power, that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.
