For Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas, life in Paris was based upon the rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings, and `it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning`. Picasso was there with `his high whinnying Spanish giggle`, as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it - "The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me".

In the nuclear age, arms are the ultimate commodity. And now they are easier and cheaper to acquire and make than ever before - which means that for poor nations or non-state terror groups, weapons of mass destruction are up for grabs. William Langewiesche looks at how nuclear weapons have gone wholesale. He visits the smuggling routes in Turkey and closed Russian `nuclear cities` where highly enriched uranium is on sale. He meets technicians, smugglers and spies. And he tells the extraordinary story of Abdul Qadeer Khan, the scientist who stole plans to build Pakistan`s nuclear arsenal.

In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire...
