Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xiv, [2], 228. [2] pages. Sources/References. Index. This is a Pugwash Monograph. Frank Blackaby was the Executive editor. Sir Joseph Rotblat (1908-2005), British physicist and one of the most prominent critics o the nuclear arms race, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 in conjunction with the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Among the contributors to this volume are: Robert McNamara, George Rathjens, Theodore Taylor, Jack Ruina, and Richard Garwin. Among the topics addressed are: Nuclear Weapons, Disarmament, Cold War, Verification, Nuclear-Weapon-Free-World Treaty, International Security, and International Nuclear Security Force. The world total of nuclear warheads should be well below 10, 000 by the year 2000. Should the ultimate target be zero? The idea of a nuclear-weapon-free world (NWFW) was put back on the world agenda by President Gorbachev in 1986. President Reagan also had a vision of a world without nuclear weapons. A number of politicians in the nuclear-weapon countries are beginning to see that such a world could be in their best interests. The threat to world security now comes from nuclear-weapon proliferation, and the only effective way of stopping this is to have an enforceable worldwide ban. The authors-many of whom are experts in the field of nuclear weapons-seek to answer two key questions regarding the concept of a NWFW: Is it desirable? Is it feasible? They outline what they see as the essential provisions of a NWFW treaty and examine the inevitable problems of enforcement. All stocks of weapon-usable materials-civilian as well as military-would have to be closely monitored and guarded.
