"Detente or Destruction, 1955-57" continues publication of
Routledge's multi-volume critical edition of Bertram Russell's
shorter writings. Between September 1955 and November 1957 Russell
published some 61 articles, reviews, statements, contributions to
books and letters to editors, over 50 of which are contained in
this volume. The texts, several of them hitherto unpublished,
reveal the deepening of Russell's commitment to the anti-nuclear
struggle, upon which he embarked in the previous volume of
"Collected Papers" ("Man's Peril, 1954-55").
Continuing with the theme of nuclear peril, this volume contains
discussion of nuclear weapons, world peace, prospects for
disarmament and British-Soviet friendship against the backdrop of
the Cold War. One of the key papers in this volume is Russell's
message to the inaugural conference of the Pugwash movement, which
Russell was instrumental in launching and which became an
influential, independent forum of East-West scientific cooperation
and counsel on issues such as an internationally agreed nuclear
test-ban.
In addition to the issues of war and peace, Russell, now in his
eighties, continued to take an interest in a wide variety of
themes. He not only addresses older controversies over nationalism
and empire, religious belief and American civil liberties; he also
confronts head-on the new and pressing matters of armed
intervention in Hungary and Suez, and of the manufacture and
testing of the British hydrogen bomb. This volume includes 7
interviews ranging from East-West relations after the Geneva
conference to a meeting with Russell.
