Nuclear weapons are not a subject of intense public discussion and
debate, but they should be. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only the
beginning; in recent times, nuclear annihilation at the hands of
rogues and terrorists has become an even greater concern than the
specter of nuclear war between superpowers. In a series of clear,
calm, well-reasoned dialogues, longtime scholars and practitioners
of peace Richard Falk and David Krieger probe key questions about
our nuclear reality and dig beneath the surreal surface tranquility
that has largely surrounded its existence. Although the authors
agree on much, there are many areas where their thoughts diverge,
including their assessment of the value of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and of President Obama s level of
commitment to nuclear issues. They put forward new proposals and
explore in the dialogues different ways to move ahead. They contend
that a nuclear-free future is not a subject to be left only to
experts for the so-called experts have brought us to the brink of
the nuclear precipice over and over again. Falk and Krieger believe
that although none of us has the power to bring about global change
alone, together we are immensely powerful powerful enough to
overcome the threats of the Nuclear Age and move us appreciably
along the path to zero. Covers questions about living in the
Nuclear Age including: How have we responded (or failed to respond)
to these immensely powerful weapons? Are we capable of escaping
their threat? Can civilization make the leap to survival in a world
with thousands of nuclear weapons? Will humankind become the victim
of its own cleverness? Will we recognize the nuclear dilemma that
confronts us in the 21st century? Will we be able also to recognize
our power, when acting together, to be a force for change? Will we
act soon enough and forcefully enough to assure civilization s
survival?"
