Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex dynamics of US and UK efforts to halt Pakistan's nuclear ambitions during the 1970s, particularly in the aftermath of India's nuclear test. It highlights a mix of cooperation and conflict between the two nations, influenced by economic challenges, globalization, and shifting geopolitical landscapes. The Iranian Revolution's rise of political Islamic radicalism and the emergence of the concept of the 'Islamic bomb' further complicated the situation. This comprehensive study intertwines cultural, diplomatic, economic, and political histories to provide a thorough analysis of this pivotal period in nuclear history.
