Description

Death On Delivery: The Impact of the Arm Trade on the Third World by Helen Collinson.'Death on Delivery examines the impact of the arms trade on the Third World - the destination for around three quarters of British arms exports. It looks not only at the governments and armed forces which but the weapons but also at the people on the receiving end of arms purchases. Using a series of specific examples, this study assesses the extent to which the arms trade is responsible for the conflict, poverty and state violence haunting so many people's lives. It also touches on the the connections between debt and military purchases, the link between arms transfers and Third World arm production, and the current trends in the global arms trade. The concluding chapter reports on the many initiatives which have been taken against the arms trade, both in Europe and in the Third World
