NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price This study examines why Saddam Hussein pursued nuclear weapons and, as abasic aspect of that question, how he might have employed that capability had heacquired it, whether for deterrence, arfighting, or something else. As the keydecision maker in Iraq, Saddam's own thinking was central. His perception ofregional threats, primarily from Iran and Israel, were a prime motivator. In addition, Saddam viewed acquiring nuclear weapons as a potent vehicle to help legitimizehis regime and burnish his personal image as leader both at home and in the ArabWorld, as a modernizer and defender of national interests.A better understandingof the Iraqi case can also clarify the enduring issues related to how regional leadersmay view nuclear weapons in this world of looming proliferation. Overall, this study suggests that any trend toward nuclear proliferation couldcontribute to destabilizing effects as was the case with Iraq and argues for thedesirability of continuing vigorous international efforts to halt or slow proliferation.
