Reviews for New Nukes: India, Pakistan and Global Disarmament
'Not since EP Thompson has the illogic, inhumanity and complacency of the nuclear status quo been so brilliantly laid bare.'
The Independent 'I have never seen a better account of the weaknesses, perils and immorality of security policies based on threats of mass destruction.'
