War No More: Eliminating Conflict in the Nuclear Age

Never before have so many people worried about the effects of military conflict. At a time when terrorism is creating new forms of warfare worldwide, this book provides an account of the real dangers we face, and argues that the elimination of war is an attainable and necessary goal. Written by Nobel-prize winner and former nuclear physicist Joseph Rotblat, and peace advocate and scholar Robert Hinde, this book provides insight into the nature of modern warfare - including weapons of mass destruction . Examining the key factors that are believed to contribute to conflict, they explain how best to approach a peaceful future. If war is ever to be eliminated, Hinde and Rotblat argue that we must address key issues such as the gap between the rich and the poor; we must have tighter arms controls; and above all we must have better education. The authors explain how the United Nations - as well as non-governmental organizations, religious groups, and grassroots movements - all have an important part to play.
