The book of our time is now in paperback: Deception exposes the truth about how the West allowed Pakistan to bring nuclear arms to the very rogue states and terrorist organizations that today threaten to destabilize the entire world.

'Compelling... Building on a decade's worth of interviews, the husband-and-wife investigative team serve a stunning indictment of "the nuclear crime of all our lifetimes".' Publishers Weekly (starred review)

'Simultaneously astonishing, maddening and absolutely frightening.' Kirkus

Deception reveals how Pakistan built a nuclear arsenal with US aid money and sold the technology to countries hostile to the West, while giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda. It also reveals a much larger deception: how every American administration from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush has actively condoned Pakistan's nuclear activity, destroying and falsifying evidence provided by US and Western intelligence agencies, lying about Pakistan's intentions and capability, and facilitating the spread of the very weapons we so fear terrorists will obtain. This definitive book is the essential account of our time.

'This rich and detailed book reads like a thriller.' Robert Cooper, Director General for External Relations and Politico-Military Affairs at the Council of the European Union

'An unputdownable and explosive account of our most recent times.' Simon Reeve, author of The New Jackals: Osama bin Laden and the Future of Terrorism
