Weapons of Peace is the explosive story of the triumphs and the travails, the intrigues and the goof ups, the closed-door decisions and the deceptions behind the thick veil of secrecy that shrouded India’s quest to build an awesome nuclear arsenal. The book is a compelling narrative full of rich and never before published human, scientific, military and political details based on 200 revealing interviews of former prime ministers and presidents, military generals and key bureaucrats and scores of scientists, both known and unknown. It graphically recreates the unparalleled drama that shook the world and is the definitive history of India’s 50-year saga to build nuclear weapons.
