Deception: Pakistan, The United States and the Global Nuclear Weapons Conspiracy

Deception: Pakistan, The United States and the Global Nuclear Weapons Conspiracy

by Adrian Levy (Author), Adrian Levy (Author), Cathy Scott Clark (Author)

Synopsis

Deception reveals how Pakistan built a nuclear arsenal with US aid money and sold the technology to countries hostile to the West, while giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda. It also reveals the much larger deception: how every American administration from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush has actively condoned Pakistan's nuclear activity, destroying and falsifying evidence provided by US and Western intelligence agencies, lying about Pakistan's intentions and capability, and facilitating the spread of the very weapons we so fear terrorists will obtain. This definitive book is the essential account of our time.
