Title: Pakistan and the bomb
Description: Through the lens of a comprehensive survey of Pakistani public attitudes toward nuclear weapons policy, this volume provides an in-depth view of the nuclear choices facing Pakistan. Based on the most thorough survey of Pakistani public opinion on nuclear policy ever conducted, Pakistan and the Bomb examines the factors that brought a de facto nuclear arms competition to South Asia.

Pakistan and the Bomb democratizes the debate over nuclear weapons in South Asia by highlighting a new generation of young Pakistani authors. The chapters in the book examine the nuclear policy choices facing Pakistan, from nuclear abstinence to outright weaponization, and apply the findings of the public opinion poll to evaluate a level of popular support for each option.

Pakistan and the Bomb offers a new vision for evaluating the nuclear standoff in South Asia and identifying the steps that can lead to a more secure, nuclear weapons free future.
