`In 1924 Winston Churchill wrote, Might not a bomb no bigger than an orange be found to possess a secret power...and blast a township at a stroke - that bomb was developed and used two decades later and we have been debating its dangers and value and trying to control it ever since - Nuclear Disarmament: A Critical Assessment captures the wide-ranging views of this debate as it stands now almost one hundred years later. Join the debate - the next one hundred years depends on it.'-- William J. Perry, 19th US Secretary of Defense 'A balanced and thoughtful assessment, by a diverse set of global experts, on the pros and cons of nuclear disarmament. Must reading for these challenging times.'--Scott D.
