"The most likely site for a nuclear war is the Indian subcontinent,
but we have little understanding of India's nuclear program. This
will change with George Perkovich's fascinating and important
study. It is informed, free from bias, and a great read as
well."--Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of
International Politics, Columbia University
"George Perkovich has written a comprehensive and thoughtful
book on one of the most troubling security problems of the day--the
introduction of nuclear weapons to the already dangerous
confrontation between India and Pakistan." --William J. Perry,
Professor, Stanford University, Former US Secretary of Defense
"George Perkovich's India's Nuclear Bomb is an authoritative
account in Indian decision-making. I have found no other statement
as comprehensive and persuasive. It provides unique insights into
Indian politics and is an invaluable contribution to American
thinking about nonproliferation." --Frank G. Wisner, U.S.
Ambassador to India, 1994-1997
"With a great deal of empathy and understanding of the Indian
psyche, George Perkovich leads us through contradictory perceptions
of events to give us a sense of the evolution of nuclear decision
making in India. What emerges is a highly nuanced and sensitive
narration of the complex interaction between domestic and external
factors that led to the nuclear tests of May, 1998 and the
shattering of a number of Indian and international myths about
nuclear weapons and their role in global politics." --K.
Subrahmanyam, Consulting Editor The Times of India and The Economic
Times, Chairman, Indian National Security Advisory Board
"George Perkovich's book is one I wish I had written.
India'sNuclear Bomb appears at a critical moment in global nuclear
history, and it will have an important impact on the current policy
debate in the United States, India, and Pakistan, as well as on the
future histories of Indian politics and international security
policy." --Stephen Cohen, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution,
Washington, DC
