There are by now several detailed books on the Indo-US nuclear deal, and Chaitanya Ravi’s traverses much of the same space as the others. But his interviews with the former US State Department Counsellor Phil Zelikow are interesting because they throw light on some of the fierce debates that took place within the Bush administration on the rationale, indeed the wisdom, of helping orchestrate India’s access to the international civil nuclear energy market while acquiescing in its status as a nuclear weapons state.
