Book excerpt: Written for ordinary readers by a concerned American citizen, American Nuclear Deception shows how the history of the bomb impacts current nuclear policy, examining fresh evidence through the surprising lens of the Port Chicago nuclear explosion theory (PCnet).The controversial theory, introduced by Peter Vogel in the Spring 1982 edition of The Black Scholar, has been downplayed by the U.S. government; "dissed" and dismissed by traditional historians; distorted by sensational conspiracy theorists; and deleted from Wikipedia -- all without benefit of an official investigation. Vogel researched the theory for 35 years, but in December 2018 the senior scholar shut down his website, withdrawing his singular eBook, The Last Wave from Port Chicago.American Nuclear Deception exposes the vital, documented connection between the Manhattan Project and the unexplained explosion that destroyed two ships at the Port Chicago Naval Ammunition Depot near San Francisco on July 17, 1944, killing 320 Americans.A large body of wide-ranging new evidence supports the PCnet, overcoming opinion-based objections. Readers will also learnWhy it matters that hat Albert Einstein signed but did not write the famous letter to FDR that introduces most accounts of the bomb.Why FDR flipflopped on integrating the Navy after authorizing the top-secret bomb project.How Einstein's work on torpedo design as a Navy consultant in 1943 may have supported Parsons' quest for a nuclear torpedo.Why FDR's flagship was in the Port Chicago area on the day of the explosion;Why a false press release about an explosion at a remote ammunition depot was used as a cover for the famous Trinity test;How the Port Chicago explosion led to the Trinity test, the atomic bombing of Japan, Operation Crossroads, the Nevada Proving Ground . . . and current nuclear policy In the end, Readers decide: The Port Chicago disaster -- was it a nuclear explosion? The Department of Defense: ". . . ridiculous." The Navy History and Heritage Command: "hogwash." The Port Chicago National Memorial: "unlikely." Two prominent historians: "A Story Too Good To Kill". American Nuclear Deception: The Port Chicago nuclear explosion theory is too important to ignore.

Book excerpt: The shocking, three-decade story of A. Q. Khan and Pakistan's nuclear program, and the complicity of the United States in the spread of nuclear weaponry. On December 15, 1975, A. Q. Khan-a young Pakistani scientist working in Holland-stole top-secret blueprints for a revolutionary new process to arm a nuclear bomb. His original intention, and that of his government, was purely patriotic-to provide Pakistan a counter to India's recently unveiled nuclear device. However, as Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark chillingly relate in their masterful investigation of Khan's career over the past thirty years, over time that limited ambition mushroomed into the world's largest clandestine network engaged in selling nuclear secrets-a mercenary and illicit program managed by the Pakistani military and made possible, in large part, by aid money from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Libya, and by indiscriminate assistance from China. Based on hundreds of interviews in the United States, Pakistan, India, Israel, Europe, and Southeast Asia, Deception is a masterwork of reportage and dramatic storytelling by two of the world's most resourceful investigative journalists. Urgently important, it should stimulate debate and command a reexamination of our national priorities.

Book excerpt: When, in 1997, the International Atomic Energy Agency unanimously elected Mohamed ElBaradei as its next Director General, few observers could have forecast the dramatic role he would play over the next 12 years. Certainly, the stage onto which Dr. ElBaradei stepped - featuring Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Kim Jong-Il's North Korea, Muammar al-Gaddafi's Libya, and the Islamic Republic of Iran - gave ample opportunity for high-stakes and high-profile decision-making. But no one could have predicted that ElBaradei would be 'the man in the middle' of so many nuclear conflicts over so sustained a period of time. And after he and the IAEA were jointly awarded the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize, his role as middle-man only gained intensity.In The Age of Deception, Dr. ElBaradei gives us his account from the centre of the nuclear fray. Readers will sit at the dinner table with Iraqi officials in Baghdad, listening as they bleakly predict the coming war. They will eavesdrop on the exchanges between UN inspectors and U.S. officials observing the behind-the-scenes formulation of an approach to foreign policy and diplomacy that would come to characterise the Bush administration. We gain a feel for the difficulty of the IAEA inspectors' struggle to maintain objectivity when trust has been broken, or when the press - or governments - are playing fast and loose with the facts. The Age of Deception is a story of human imperfection, of modern society struggling to come to grips with the multiple dimensions of human insecurity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides critical analysis and historical evidence to refute the claims of the nuclear power industry that nuclear power can alleviate the build-up of greenhouse gases and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. It also reveals the hazards of further proliferation of nuclear weapons from the growing quantities of plutonium generated by existing nuclear power plants throughout the world. Prepared under the auspices of a scientifically respected institute, "The Nuclear Power Deception" exposes the flagrant misrepresentation of nuclear power as "to cheap to meter" and environmentally benign and safe by government and industry officials in the 1940s and 1950s when they had ample evidence to the contrary. Instead they suppressed that evidence, much of which is presented in this book. Essential background reading for students, teachers, peace and environmental activists, and others concerned about the threat nuclear power continues to pose for the future of humankind.

Book excerpt: The startling story of America's role, over three decades and five administrations, in aiding and abetting a new age of nuclear terror. In a masterful investigation, Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark reveal the disastrous ideological shortsightedness that has informed American policy toward Pakistan over the last thirty years, and how decades of parochial and sometimes criminal policy enabled a nuclear scandal to evolve. Although seen as a crucial ally, Pakistan instead betrayed the West, building a vast nuclear arsenal in large part with U.S. aid money and selling the technology to countries hostile to the West, while more recently giving shelter to the resurgent Taliban and al-Qaeda. Deception puts our current standoffs with Iran and North Korea, and the quagmire in Iraq, in a startling new perspective, revealing how by giving the Pakistan military succor, the United States has helped usher in a new age of nuclear terror. Based on hundreds of interviews over the past decade in the United States, Pakistan, India, Israel and the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia, it is a masterwork of reportage and dramatic storytelling by two of the world's most resourceful investigative journalists.

Book excerpt: A Stunning Exposé Of How A.Q. Khan Set Up Pakistan S Nuclear Programme, And The Role Of The United States In The Spread Of Nuclear Weapons Based On Hundreds Of Interviews In The United States, Pakistan, India, Israel, Europe, And Southeast Asia, Deception Is A Masterwork Of Reportage And Dramatic Storytelling By Two Of The World S Most Resourceful Investigative Journalists. It Is The Most Complete Account Of Pakistan S Clandestine Nuclear Network As It Has Extended From Islamabad Around The World, And Chronicles How A.Q. Khan S Operation And His Ultimate Fall From Grace Are Part Of A Much Larger Deceit. In This Masterful Investigation Adrian Levy And Catherine Scott-Clark Chillingly Relate How Thirty Years Of Parochial And Sometimes Criminal Policy Of The United States Enabled Pakistan To Betray The West, Build A Vast Nuclear Arsenal With Us Aid Money, And Sell The Technology To Countries Hostile To The West, While Giving Shelter To The Resurgent Taliban And Al-Qaeda. Every American Administration From Jimmy Carter To George W. Bush Has Condoned Pakistan S Nuclear Activity, Rewriting And Destroying Evidence Provided By Us And Western Intelligence Agencies, Deceiving About Pakistan S Intentions And Capability, And Facilitating The Spread Of The Very Weapons It Is Feared Terrorists Will Obtain. Most Unnerving, The Authors Reveal That The Sales Of Nuclear Weapons Technology To Iran, North Korea, And Libya, So Much In The News Today, Were Made With The Clear Knowledge Of The American Government, For Whom Pakistan Has Been A Crucial Buffer State And Ally. Deception Puts The Current Standoffs With Iran And North Korea In A Startling New Perspective, And Makes Clear Two Things: That Pakistan, Far From Being An Ally, Is A Rogue Nation At The Epicenter Of World Destabilization; And That The Complicity Of The United States Has Ushered In A New Nuclear Winter.
