Abstract

Many books have been written on the details of nuclear transfers from one nation to another. There has been lots of high dramas that make interesting films. My favorite books for details on nuclear transfers are these three references, listed below.

Pakistan will fight, fight for 1000 years. If…. India builds the (atom) bomb…. (Pakistan) will eat grass, or, … even go hungry but we (Pakistan) will get one of our own (atom bomb)…. We (Pakistan) have no other choice.

[Pakistan President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program]

I have much to answer for…. The investigations have established that many of the reported activities did occur and these were inevitably, initiated at my behest. In my interviews with the concerned government officials I was confronted with the evidence and findings, and I voluntarily admitted that much of it is true and accurate.

[Abdul Quadeer Kahn, 4 February 2004, Pakistan state television]
