Focusing on the current state of nuclear disarmament, this collection of essays offers a comprehensive overview of the arguments for a nuclear-weapon-free world. Edited by Nobel Peace Prize winner Joseph Rotblat, it highlights recent advocacy efforts by scholars, military leaders, and political figures while outlining necessary steps to achieve disarmament. The volume serves as both a primer and a roadmap for those interested in the critical issue of nuclear weapons elimination.
"This series of dialogues between two leading ethical thinkers brings together the courage and humanity of Rotblat with the spiritual wisdom and global visionary outlook of Daisaku Ikeda, the leader of the world's largest and most influential lay Buddhist organisation. Together they reflect on fundamental issues of war and peace, the ethics of nuclear deterrence and the trajectory of Joseph Rotblat's career, from the Manhattan Project to the Pugwash Conferences and his Nobel Brize."--Jacket
