<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Fallout takes reader inside the CIA's covert operation to penetrate A. Q. Khan's weapons intelligence network and exposes the agency's desperate and ultimately flawed plans to sabotage the nuclear programs of Iran and Libya.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>For more than a quarter of a century, while the Central Intelligence Agency turned a dismissive eye, a globe-straddling network run by Pakistani scientist A.</b> Q. Khan sold the equipment and expertise to make nuclear weapons to a rogues' gallery of nations. Among its known customers were Iran, Libya, and North Korea. When the United States finally took action to stop the network in late 2003, President George W. Bush declared the end of the global enterprise to be a major intelligence victory that had made the world safer. <p/>But, as investigative journalists Catherine Collins and Douglas Frantz document masterfully, the claim that Khan's operation had been dismantled was a classic case of too little, too late. Khan's ring had, by then, sold Iran the technology to bring Tehran to the brink of building a nuclear weapon. It had also set loose on the world the most dangerous nuclear secrets imaginable--sophisticated weapons designs, blueprints for uranium enrichment plants, plans for warheads--all for sale to the highest bidder. <p/>Relying on explosive new information gathered in exclusive interviews with key participants and previously undisclosed, highly confidential documents, the authors expose the truth behind the elaborate efforts by the CIA to conceal the full extent of the damage done by Khan's network and to cover up how the profound failure to stop the atomic bazaar much earlier jeopardizes our national security today.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Catherine Collins</b> has been a foreign correspondent and reporter for the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> and written for the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> and <i>The New York Times</i>.
