ISBN10: 1586421379, ISBN13: 9781586421373, [publisher: Hannover (NH): Steerforth] Hardcover 292 Seiten Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - David Armstrong and Joseph Trento describe the so-called A.Q. Khan nuclear black market scandal, including exclusive accounts from customs agents, intelligence analysts, and other ground-level, front-line operatives. Documented in these pages are maddening experiences of official interference and breathtaking instances of indifference and incompetence. Trento and Armstrong name names and reveal stunning new information about proliferators in an exposé that is sure to generate headlines. This secret history of how the Islamic bomb was developed and how nuclear arms have proliferated is as fascinating as it is disturbing. Over the past three decades, official investigations in the United States and Europe came close on several occasions to pulling the lid off Pakistan's nuclear smuggling network. But to protect strategic relationships with Islamabad, those inquiries were scuttled by intervention at the highest levels of government. The opportunities to roll up the network were lost and the spread of nuclear technology continued. ISBN 9781586421373 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 477
