The massive movement against nuclear weapons began with the
invention of the atomic bomb in 1945 and lasted throughout the Cold
War. Antinuclear protesters of all sorts mobilized in defiance of
the move toward nuclear defense in the wake of the Cold War. They
influenced U.S. politics, resisting the mindset of nuclear
deterrence and mutually-assured destruction. The movement
challenged Cold War militarism and restrained leaders who wanted to
rely almost exclusively on nuclear weapons for national security.
Ultimately, a huge array of activists decided that nuclear weapons
made the country less secure, and that, through testing and
radioactive fallout, they harmed the very people they were supposed
to protect. Rethinking the American Antinuclear Movement provides a
short, accessible overview of this important social and political
movement, highlighting key events and figures, the strengths and
weaknesses of the activists, and its lasting effects on the
country. It is perfect for anyone wanting to obtain an introduction
to the American antinuclear movement and the massive reach of this
transnational concern.
