NUCLEAR PACIFISM,
By
This review is from: Stop Nuclear War: A Handbook (Hardcover)
Although I disagree with most of what they say, I do enjoy these anti-nuclear books from the 80's. This one is very well written; the author a well known psychologist and activist. Chapters examine how a war between the superpowers might start, and what the effects would be. Considerable effort is devoted to convincing us that all 'gaps' in military strength were really nonexistent. An appendix lists organizations the reader can join to stop nuclear war.
While the 80's peace movement emphasized nuclear disarmament, it was really just another pacifist movement, and I believe Americans recognized this and this was one of the reasons it was not more successful. After all, destructive as nuclear weapons might be, we had to risk using them. Had we refused, we would be the slave to the Soviets, or anyone who could threaten us with them. Not an attractive outcome. |
