Deception: Pakistan, The United States and the Global Nuclear Weapons Conspiracy cover

The book of our time is now in paperback: Deception exposes the truth about how the West allowed Pakistan to bring nuclear arms to the very rogue states and terrorist organizations that today threaten to destabilize the entire world.

Deception reveals how Pakistan built a nuclear arsenal with US aid money and sold the technology to countries hostile to the West, while giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda. It also reveals the much larger deception: how every American administration from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush has actively condoned Pakistan's nuclear activity, destroying and falsifying evidence provided by US and Western intelligence agencies, lying about Pakistan's intentions and capability, and facilitating the spread of the very weapons we so fear terrorists will obtain. This definitive book is the essential account of our time.

Anyone interested in South Asia and the wider subject of nuclear proliferation - or who simply enjoys a gripping tale - should read this book. * Daily Telegraph *
A richly reported work of investigative journalism. * Los Angeles Times *
Simultaneously astonishing, maddening and absolutely frightening * Kirkus *
The disclosures in this book ... are nothing short of stunning. * The Times of India *
