Weapons And Hope

Plot

British-born physicist Dyson examines the historical and cultural context in which nuclear weapons were made and argues that the problems they pose are part of the history of man and war, and that their control lies within our cultural, political and technical possibilities. Along with moving personal memories of war and pacifism, he offers insightful comments on the Soviet Union and the issue of verification. He concludes that the demands of military realism are compatible with the moral imperative to move away from nuclear weapons, and that a radical shift toward non-nuclear strategy can exist beside the realities of Soviet power.
