Carlo Patti makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on Cold War history, Latin American history, and transnational histories of technology. It is a rare feat to be able to successfully compress a complex history of more than seventy years into one monograph. I'm highly impressed with the amount and quality of research that Patti has done as well as his understanding of Brazil's domestic politics. -Jayita Sarkar, Boston University, author of Ploughshares and Swords: India's Nuclear Program in the Global Cold War Carlo Patti's thoughtful account offers a complete analysis of the evolution of Brazil's nuclear policies over almost seventy years. It is an original, rigorous, and illuminating contribution to our understanding of the foreign policy of a crucial country in the global nuclear order. This is an important book that will stand the test of time. -Leopoldo Nuti, Universita degli Studi Roma Tre, coeditor of The Euromissiles Crisis and the End of the Cold War Patti's well-researched book throws new light on the origins, development, and objectives of Brazil's atomic policies and program as well as its participation in the efforts of the international community to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and promote nuclear disarmament. -Sergio de Queiroz Duarte, former UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs / President, Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs An impressively detailed study that pushes boundaries in the field of nuclear history. Does justice to the critical role that Brazil played in the development of the contemporary global nuclear order. -Connections Undoubtedly, the book will become an indispensable title for anyone interested in the country, the region and for those keen to understand global nuclear politics. -Togzhan Kassenova, University of Albany, International Affairs
