The spine of this book is easy visible in certain interviews of NBC's Today show.

This is another book on the post-Manhattan Project history.

Maybe most significantly a photo of the vaults holding a half dozen of South Africa's nuclear weapons was shown (after they disposed of their weapons).

A very heavy read...only for patient readers. Why I have the nationalist views that I hold. India should be nuclear. And we have to become independent on tech development. I read this in 95/96 and still remember it.....maybe will pick it up again.
