Bridget Conley-Zilkic, Research Director, World Peace Foundation

Is the arms industry truly as essential as we’ve been led to believe? Indefensible puts forward a devastating challenge to this conventional wisdom, debunking many myths about the industry statistics, case studies, and irrefutable evidence to demonstrate how the arguments in favor of the arms trade are fundamentally flawed, the contributors to this volume clearly show that far from protecting us, the arms trade undermines our security by fanning the flames of war, terrorism, and global instability, and promoting rampant corruption.
“Bristling with facts, figures and incisive case studies, Indefensible shines a bright light on the dark underbelly of the global arms trade”
- Andrew J. Bacevich, author of America’s War for the Greater Middle East
