5.0 out of 5 stars Kritik of Nukespeak, December 24, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Indefensible Weapons: The Political and Psychological Case Against Nuclearism (Paperback)

Lifton and Falk's INDEFENSIBLE WEAPONS. This cites been given many times for the nuclearism kritik, but most people still think the kritik only applies to nuclear language (i.e. saying "nuke"). Lifton and Falk write some good cards saying denying the impact of nuclear war entrenches the nuclearistic illusion. Psychologically we think nuclear war isn't that bad and a real world nuclear holocaust occurs. If you want some extremely depressing, yet flaming nuclear war bad cites, I'd suggest Schell's famous book THE FATE OF THE EARTH.
