520    A.Q. Khan was the world's leading black market dealer in 
       nuclear technology, described by a former CIA Director as 
       "at least as dangerous as Osama bin Laden." A hero in 
       Pakistan and revered as the Father of the Bomb, Khan built
       a global clandestine network that sold the most closely 
       guardednuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea, and Libya. 
       Here for the first time is the riveting inside story of 
       the rise and fall of A.Q. Khan and his role in the 
       devastating spread of nuclear technology over the last 
       thirty years. Drawing on exclusive interviews with key 
       players in Islamabad, London, and Washington, as well as 
       with members of Khan'sown network, BBC journalist Gordon 
       Corera paints a truly unsettling picture of the ultimate 
       arms bazaar. Corera reveals how Khan operated within a 
       world of shadowy deals among rogue states and how his 
       privileged position in Pakistan provided him with the 
       protection to build his unique and deadlybusiness empire. 
       It explains why and how he was able to operate so freely 
       for so many years. Brimming with revelations, the book 
       provides new insight into Iran's nuclear ambitions and how
       close Tehran may be to the bomb. In addition, the book 
       contains startling new information on how the CIA and MI6 
       penetrated Khan's network, how the U.S. and UK ultimately 
       broke Khan's ring, and how they persuaded Pakistan's 
       President Musharraf to arrest a national hero. The book 
       also provides the first detailed account of thehigh-wire 
       dealings with Muammar Gadaffi, which led to Libya's 
       renunciation of nuclear weapons and which played a key 
       role in Khan's downfall. The spread of nuclear weapons 
       technology around the globe presents the greatest security
       challenge of our time. Shopping for Bombs presents a 
       unique window into the challenges of stopping a new 
       nuclear arms race, a race that A.Q. Khan himself did more 
       than any other individual to promote.
