Book Synopsis
In 1974 India joined the elite roster of nuclear world powers when it exploded its first nuclear bomb. Over the course of the twentieth century, India metamorphosed from a marginal place to a serious hub of technological and scientific innovation. This title tells the tale of this transformation.

Trade Review
"It is not easy to write a gripping narrative of the technical details, institutional arrangements, and interpersonal relationships within scientific institutions and between political powers, but Robert Anderson has pulled it off. Nucleus and Nation is a complex, wide-ranging, and engaging work." - Benjamin Zachariah, University of Sheffield"
