Description

"India's Nuclear Bomb is the definitive, comprehensive history of how the world's largest democracy, the nation of Gandhi, has grappled with the twin desires to have and to renounce the bomb. Each chapter contains significant historical revelations drawn from scores of interviews with India's key scientists, military leaders, diplomats, and politicians, and from declassified U.S. government documents and interviews with U.S. officials. George Perkovich teases out the cultural and ethical concerns and vestiges of colonialism that underlie India's seemingly paradoxical stance. India's changing view of itself has as much, or more, to do with its nuclear policy as any threat from outside its borders."--BOOK JACKET.
