Atomic Steppe tells the untold true story of how the obscure country of Kazakhstan said no to the most powerful weapons in human history. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the marginalized Central Asian republic suddenly found itself with the worlds fourth largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. Would it give up these fireready weaponsor try to become a Central Asian North Korea? This book takes us inside Kazakhstans extraordinary and littleknown nuclear history from the Soviet period to the present. For Soviet officials, Kazakhstans steppe was not an ecological marvel or beloved homeland, but an empty patch of dirt ideal for nuclear testing. Twoheaded lambs were just the beginning of the resulting public health disaster for Kazakhstancompounded, when the Soviet Union collapsed, by the daunting burden of becoming an overnight nuclear power. Equipped with intimate personal perspective and untapped archival resources, Togzhan Kassenova introduces us to the engineers turned diplomats, villagers turned activists, and scientists turned pacifists who worked toward disarmament. With thousands of nuclear weapons still present around the world, the story of how Kazakhs gave up their nuclear inheritance holds urgent lessons for global security.
