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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319847689\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-51880-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 319\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47447311745164,"sku":"9783319847689","price":98.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319847689.jpg?v=1775920437","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319847689","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
