From a local ballot initiative in Massachusetts, the nuclear
weapons freeze movement has grown during the last three years into
an important national issue. By 1983, Congress had been asked to
consider more than two dozen freeze resolutions, and more than 25%
of the voters in the U.S. had the opportunity to vote on state-wide
and regional freeze initiatives. This book explores the issues
behind the current debate over nuclear weapons and the freeze
movement from a wide range of perspectives. The contributors assess
the goals and implications of the freeze movement, examine its
origins in religious and secular pacifism, explain the amendments
to the original freeze proposal introduced in Congress, and discuss
the reaction and policies of the Reagan administration. The nuclear
freeze movement is placed in an international context with
discussions of recent arms negotiations, European views of U.S.
policies, and the possible effects of a freeze on NATO allies and
on U.S. national security. The book includes a comprehensive
annotated bibliography.
