The startling story of America's role -- over three decades and five administrations -- in aiding and abetting the nuclear ambitions of the "Axis of Evil."
In President George Bush's State of the Union Address in 2002, he pinpointed three nucleaer hot spots as threats to the free world: Iraq, Iran and North Korea. What he did not admit was America's role in facilitating the spread of nuclear weapons to these "axis of evil" powers and the key critical part played by a U.S. ally: The Pakistani military government and its front man, the nuclear scientist A.Q.Khan.
The authors investigated and explain how Pakistan betrayed the West building a nuclear arsenal with mostly U.S. aid money and selling the technology to countries hostile to the West, while more recently giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda.
The authors conclude that Pakistan is still the greatest nuclear threat out there.
