Opis

The year 1945 saw both the dawning of the age of nuclear weapons and the creation of the United Nations for the maintenance of world peace. Compared with the huge and continuing outlays of time and money on research and development of weapons since that date, little effort has been devoted to ways of ridding mankind of war and its armaments. Ending War contains sixteen essays on this topic, written by world renowned political thinkers and scientists. The book provides a historical perspective, and puts forward ideas to be pondered by every citizen. The contributors include Mikhail Gorbachev, who first declared 'A nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought'; Robert McNamara, US Defense Secretary at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis and of the Vietnam War; and Nobel Peace Prizewinner Joseph Rotblat, the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project, where the world's first nuclear weapons were produced.
