The United States is the only country to have dropped the atomic
bomb. Since the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, every US
president has threatened nuclear war. This concise history shows
how the U.S. has used nuclear weapons to bolster its imperial
ambitions. Leading nuclear specialist and peace campaigner Joseph
Gerson explains why atomic weapons were first built and used - and
how the U.S. uses them today to preserve its global empire. Gerson
reveals how and why the U.S. made more than twenty threats of
nuclear attack during the Cold War - against Russia, China,
Vietnam, and the Middle East. He shows how such theats continued
under Presidents Bush and Clinton, and George W. Bush. The book
concludes with an appeal for nuclear weapons abolition and an
overview of the history of the anti-nuclear movement. Drawing from
a wide range of sources, this fascinating and timely account shows
how the U.S. has used nuclear weapons to dominate the world.
