Reviews

A fascinating insight into the life and times of one of Britain's most influential pacifists. Michael Randle's recollections are piercing and vivid. This is invaluable reading for anyone wishing to understand the challenges and evolution of peace activism since 1945. Michael Randle has resisted nuclear weapons, militarism, and oppression both in Britain and internationally all his life. This book should introduce his extraordinary story to a new generation. This wonderful book of conversations offers a rare glimpse into the lived experience of Cold War pacifism in Britain. There are lively accounts of the first direct action protests, the uptake and transformation of Gandhian ideals, and the battle against nuclear imperialism. Levy guides the discussions with erudition and compassion. Ban the Bomb! is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the stakes of nonviolent resistance.
