How to Build a Nuclear Bomb: And Other Weapons of Mass Destruction (Nation Books) Paperback – 16 Mar. 2004

Current favourite bedtime reading. For MbS of Saudi Arabia. Doh!

This book was amazing there was parts spreaded for days !

This is not a 'how to' book. It's a quick guide to weapons of mass destruction, dealing with the technology and the people who might use them without approval of a government. The information density is high and Frank Barnaby, witness to a nuclear explosion in the Australian desert in 1953, surely knows what he is talking about.However decently written, the bottom line is this book does not tell the eager reader of newspapers much new. The book's title is brilliant but does not adequately describe what is in it. It will mainly serve those in need of a quick overview.

If you have lost your mind and really want to build a nuclear bomb, you got to search else were. This book only provides you with some narrow information of the mechanical details, and a small fraction of the science and theories. It does however give you some interesting stats, and some drawings of the construction of the bombs them self. And as this book appeared shortly after 9/11 it has got a large part about terrorism and nuclear bombs.
