This is a fascinating account of how politics and science intersected as India grappled with the nuclear deal. - Ashley J. Tellis, Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace 'This book is necessary reading for anyone interested in global nuclear power politics and Indian nuclear history.' - M.V. Ramana, Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security, University of British Columbia, Canada 'Ravi's pathbreaking book is the definitive text on the US-India nuclear accords. Granted unprecedented access to high-level decision-makers in both India and the US, he draws back the curtain on the negotiations in this remarkable, readable and rigorous account. In addition to taking the reader deeply into the worlds of the policy-makers who effected this landmark agreement, Ravi provides a framework that helps make sense of what they did.' - Hugh Gusterson, Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs, George Washington University, USA, and President, American Ethnological Society 'This is a serious examination of a seminal event not only in the history of US-India bilateral relations but also in the wider nuclear non-proliferation policy landscape. It covers a wide ranging set of issues with clarity and succeeds in providing important insights into the technical as well as political aspects of the debate on the US-India civil nuclear pact.' - Harsh V. Pant, Professor of International Relations, King's College London, UK
