Reviews
'Ending war, eradicating nuclear weapons, is no longer the pursuit of a dream but a necessary collective fight towards a necessary collective goal. This stimulating collection of essays contributes to this fight.' - Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former Secretary General of the United Nations
'For too long the world - including the scientific community - has been dominated by the logic of force and the culture of war. Now we can - and we must - make the transition to the force of reason and a culture of peace and non-violence. I highly recommend this book as an inspiration to everyone to take part in this transition - the greatest challenge of the new millennium.' - Federico Mayor, Director-General, UNESCO
'Throughout the nuclear age, Joseph Rotblat's indispensable voice has alerted the world to the dangers of nuclear weapons. Drawing inspiration from both his teaching and his moral courage, the authors of this important collection of essays show us how we must act now if weare to avoid repeating in the next century the tragic mistakes of this one.' - Paul Keating, former Prime Minister of Australia and convener of the Canberra Commission on the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons
'The essays in this book form a fitting tribute, on his 90th birthday, to Joseph Rotblat's devotion for half a century to trying to ensure that governments, and the people who support them, renounce reliance on nuclear weapons for their defence and for the influence they exert, and, instead, adopt a rational, sane and humane policy for their security and for the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Nobody has tried harder than he to achieve this.' - Field Marshal Lord Carver, former Chief of the UK Defence Staff
'Is it possible for us - the people of the world - to live in peace, in a global neighbourhood, with no nuclear weapons? In this book you find the visions, ideas and facts. Read it and re-read it.' - Ingvar Carlsson, former Prime Minister of Sweden
