Author Event: Ambassador Thomas Graham, Jr.
Common Sense on Weapons of Mass Destruction
October 25, 2004 

On October 25, 2004, the Eisenhower Institute featured Ambassador Thomas Graham, Jr., who discussed his book, Common Sense on Weapons of Mass Destruction.

His book provides the background necessary to understand the news and opinions surrounding weapons of mass destruction. Graham believes that a tide of misinformation has led to the public's lack of understanding of the vital issues surrounding these weapons. This book presents accessible and up-to-date facts on nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism; chemical and biological weapons; land mines and small arms missile defense; and weapons of mass destruction in outer space, and in the Middle East and Asia.

Graham served for several decades as general counsel and acting director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He was President Clinton's special ambassador for nuclear disarmament to indefinitely extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Currently, he is special counsel at Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, LLP in Washington, DC and teaches classes in international law and arms control.
