Average Rating:
 Rating: - Firghtening Prospects....Levy and Scott-Clarke's book is an excellent depiction of Pakistan's nuclear proliferation programme from the late seventies till this day. The book is excellently written, flows, is well documented and at times reads more like a thriller than a journalistic account of stockpiling and secondary market trading in nuclear weapons. The book also describes the lack of oversight undertaken by changing US governments and leaves the reader in no doubt that this was deliberate and largely driven by the desire to please Pakistan and retain her as an ally in the war against first the Mujahedeen and then the efforts against the Taleban and Bin Laden. The book does not deserve 5 stars as it misses out on some pretty important aspects of Pakistani ... Read More: Rating:  - Enlightening frightening and brilliantAs events in South Asia and the war on terror crash all around us, fired by the lies told us by Downing Street and the White House, this book puts all of it in a new perspective that was dazzling. I read it in a week, despite its length. If you want to know how we got into this mess, the lies we have been told, going back far further than the war in Iraq, then I am sure anyone would find this book essential reading. A book of the year. Rating:  - A bad Bond novelI couldn't stop but smile sometimes laugh out loud throughout my read. This book is james bond cross Jason Bourne. As a serious read one should take it with a bucket rather than a pinch of Salt. Titles like this sell well and that is what Mr. Levy knows very well aswell as leveling public opinion this earn money for Mr. Levy( Levy has strong connections with Israel A country that is involved in Nuclear proliferation in the name of Technology trasfer from USA to Israel Demona is no work of Isreali Genius its copy cated from States) All and all an usubstantiated fairy tale. Two stars for its fictional value Rating: - Horribly readable and ultimately terrifyingI got hold of this as I had read other things by the authors but nothing quite prepared me for Deception. It is a shift away from their previous work into a fast-paced and brilliantly written snapshot of how we have walked into another nuclear winter with our eyes closed, thanks once again to the deception of the Bush administration - among other things. The lie exposed in this book pre-dates all of America's other lies, concerning as it does Pakistan whose WMD programme was incredibly enabled by the US, that then turned a blind as they sold it on. But what makes this exceptional is that having claimed Pakistan as an ally, post 9/11, the US then suppressed all intelligence on its WMD programme in order to advance a bogus case for war against ...
