It is a tale of cooperation between Washington and London, but also a story of divisions and disputes. The brutal economic realities of the decade, globalisation, and wider geopolitical challenges all complicated this relationship. Policy and action were also affected by changes elsewhere in the world. Iran?s 1979 revolution brought a new form of political Islamic radicalism to prominence. The fears engendered by the Ayatollah and his followers, coupled to the blustering rhetoric of Pakistani leaders, gave rise to the ?Islamic bomb?, a nuclear weapon supposedly created by Pakistan to be shared amongst the Muslim ummah. This study thus combines cultural, diplomatic, economic, and political history to offer a rigorous, deeply researched account of a critical moment in nuclear history. . 410 0$aSecurity, Conflict and Cooperation in the Contemporary World 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aModern History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000 606 $aHistory of South Asia$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715040 606 $aUS History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/718010 606 $aHistory of Military$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 607 $aAsia$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of South Asia. 615 24$aUS History. 615 24$aHistory of Military. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a909.08 700 $aCraig$b Malcolm M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0939923 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255257903321 996 $aAmerica, Britain and Pakistan?s Nuclear Weapons Programme, 1974-1980$92119167 997 $aUNINA
