3 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Interesting read, December 20, 2004 Reviewer:Japinder Singh (Bay Area, CA USA) - An interesting book on India-Pakistan nuclear ambitions and the testing they undertook some years back. Subsequent events such as Kargil war have shown how dangerous these weapons are in hands of emotional and fragile south asian leaders. The fact that it took Clinton's personal attention to avoid a potential nuclear conflict is an eye opener. Both India and Pakistan should focus on their economies and improve the life of their people, instead of using nuclear weapons to do jingositic posturing and to win elections. Pakistan's subsequent establishment of a nuclear shopping mall, in which various countries shopped for nuclear technology shows how dangerous the nuclear game is. This book also shows how Kashmir has been used as a convenient "football", by both India and Pakistan over the years.
