Description

The book critically examines how and why Pakistan acquired its nuclear weapons, and then delves deeper into the motivations and circumstances of the nuclear proliferation activities of Khan’s network, with a special focus on Iran, Libya, and North Korea. For the first time in history all the elements of nuclear weapons development—the supplier networks, the material, the centrifuge technology and enrichment mechanism, and possibly the warhead designs—were outside direct state control at least for part of the time during this roughly sixteen-year proliferation crisis (1987–2003). Addressing this crisis, Pakistan’s Nuclear Bomb is a comprehensive book on Pakistan's Nuclear Bomb the infamous Islamic Bomb. Hassan Abbas takes the readers on this journey in the best way to explain in depth why Pakistan became a nuclear power, it’s current state and its future prospectus.
