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.

A bit of history, some art and a lot of detective work and bingo - an absolutely riveting read for the whole 357 pages.

What is it they say? Truth can be stranger than fiction, it can be more surreal, more enlightening and more poignant too. The people, places, politics and power, both in the past and in contemporary societies, are portrayed with clarity and empathy. A breathtaking read. >>More Details |
