| Summary: | A.Q. Khan was the world's leading black market dealer in nuclear technology, described by a former CIA Director as "at least as dangerous as Osama bin Laden." A hero in Pakistan and revered as the Father of the Bomb, Khan built a global clandestine network that sold nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea, and Libya. Here is the inside story of his rise and fall and his role in the devastating spread of nuclear technology over the last thirty years. Drawing on exclusive interviews with key players, BBC journalist Corera paints a truly unsettling picture, revealing how Khan operated within a world of shadowy deals among rogue states, how his privileged position in Pakistan provided him with the protection to build his deadly business empire, how the CIA and MI6 penetrated Khan's network, and how they persuaded Pakistan's President Musharraf to arrest a national hero.--From publisher description. |
