“Nuclear security: the enduring challenge of nuclear weapons” by Todd Stephen Sechser
Nuclear nonproliferation was a top priority for the Obama administration. While the Iran Deal was a diplomatic victory toward this end, major threats persist from both state and non-state actors.

A copy of the 2017 Briefing Book will be available in early January at the Information Desk.
