This book contains the elementary unclassified information which a common man of a country, particularly a Nuclear Weapon State like India, needs to know. The basics of nuclear power, the nuclear energy necessary for the country’s Industrial Power have been dealt in detail. It gives the amusing history of discovery of the Nuclear Chain Reaction which led to the making of horrible Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), as well as Nuclear Reactors for the electrical power.
The book gives the history of India’s nuclear bomb and the bomb-makers, the Shakti Operations at Pokhran and Prime Minister’s announcement of India becoming a Nuclear Power State. It also describes India’s achievements in the different fields of bomb-making; nuclear-capable missiles, bomber planes, submarines and war-frigates; thus completing a Nuclear Triad essential for country’s foolproof defence. It also describes why and how India’s nuclear program is blessed by Lord Buddha—the torch-bearer of world’s peace and gives the account of India’s efforts for nuclear disarmament and the way it faced the economic sanctions imposed on India by the developed countries.
A lucid account of secrecy, patience, dedication and perfection of great Indian scientists and engineers who completed the ‘Mission Shakti’ and gave India a nuclear might.
