Apocalypse Never

Forging the Path to a Nuclear Weapon-Free World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Argues that the abolition of nuclear weapons is both essential and achievable, and reveals in fine detail what we need to do to make it a reality. Daley insists that while global climate change poses the single greatest long-term peril to the human race, the nuclear challenge in its many incarnations poses the single most immediate peril. Daley launches a wholesale assault on the nuclear double standard insisting that it is militarily unnecessary, morally indefensible, and politically unsustainable.
