註釋
A global leader of the antinuclear movement delivers “a meticulous, urgent, and shocking report” on US weapons policy and the imminent dangers it poses (
Booklist
).
First published in the wake of the September 11 attacks in 2001,
The New Nuclear Danger
sounded the alarm against a neoconservative foreign policy dictated by weapons manufacturers. This revised and updated edition includes a new introduction that outlines the costs of Operation Iraqi Freedom, details the companies profiting from the war and subsequent reconstruction, and chronicles the rampant conflicts of interest among members of the Bush administration who also had a financial stake in weapons manufacturing.
Named one of the Most Influential Women of the 20th Century by the Smithsonian and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her antinuclear activism, Dr. Helen Caldicott’s expert assessment of US nuclear and military policy is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the precarious state of the world. After eight printings in the original edition,
The New Nuclear Danger
remains a singularly persuasive argument for a new approach to foreign policy and a new path toward arms reduction.
“A timely warning, at a critical moment in world history, of the horrible consequences of nuclear warfare.” —Walter Cronkite
