Summary:
One of the few up-to-date works on the whole of the arms trade, this guide puts the global trade in weapons in the context of history. Despite the cynicism, bribery and corruption which characterize the trade, it continues to receive government backing and UN Security Council member states are the biggest exporters of arms, often to repressive regimes.
