Description
Book SynopsisAvailable for the first time in many years,
Commonsense and Nuclear Warfare presents Russell''s keen insights into the threat of nuclear conflict, and his argument that the only way to end this threat is to end war itself.
Written at the height of the Cold War, this volume is crucial for understanding Russell''s involvement in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and his passionate campaigning for peace. It remains an extremely important book in today''s uncertain nuclear world, and is essential reading for all those interested in Russell and postwar history.
