'How South Africa Built Six Atom Bombs is the definitive account of how a maverick government was able to securely develop and test atom bombs. South Africa - then still dominated by Pretoria's apartheid-orientated regime - achieved that objective within six years - or roughly half the time it took Pakistan to test its first nuclear weapon. More salient, it did so with only a fraction of the number of scientists, technicians and specialists involved in other nuclear programs, such as those of India, Pakistan, and North Korea. For instance, there were never more than a half-dozen nuclear physicists involved in the weaponization of the South African bombs.' - editor's note
