Naval Arms Trade

The acquisition by India, officially a non-nuclear nation, of a nuclear attack submarine, attacks on merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf, and recent large and controversial naval arms sales have kept maritime security at the center of global attention. Offering a frank appraisal of the trade in naval weapons systems, this study highlights critical areas in which this trade differs from the sale of land or air systems, and discusses the implications of these differences.Anthony, Ian is the author of 'Naval Arms Trade' with ISBN 9780198291374 and ISBN 019829137X.
