Voorkant

For nearly 50 years, India and Pakistan have known little but hostility and war. 
Equating national security with military security has meant that their armies keep 
growing in size, and there are weapons of every kind, and each year there have to 
be more and newer weapons, and so the insecurity grows. While both countries 
have stopped short of actually deploying nuclear weapons, the threat that they 
pose is real, even if the bombs have not stepped out of the shadows. They wait 
there, like demons, to be summoned at barely a moment's notice. The next war 
may well be a nuclear war.

The essays collected here are all motivated by a concern to prevent this catastrophe.
Taken together, they mark a new phase in a much needed debate about Pakistan's 
nuclear weapons. The contributors include Prof Pervez Hoodbhoy, Lt Gen (Retd) 
Mujibur Rehman Khan, Dr Inayatullah and Khaled Ahmed and there is a foreword 
by Dr Mubashir Hasan.

For the many in Pakistan who have been told that only nuclear weapons can 
prevent another war in the sub -continent, the arguments presented here offer 
a clear alternative, an alternative that can open the doors to real peace
