Apocalypse never : forging the path to a nuclear weapon-free world /

In this polemic against nuclear weapons, Daley advocates the immediate destruction of all nuclear weapons the US possesses. His main argument is that a nuclear war would obliterate all life and that the existence of nuclear weapons allows such an apocalyptic event to occur by choice or by accident. The theme is moral, but the author focuses only on the US, maintaining that it is hypocritical for the US to have nuclear weapons and still try to prevent others from having them. He argues that the US is bad and that no other country will feel secure until the weapons are gone. Many supporting materials are drawn from popular authors and not from technical monograms. Daley does not explain why rogue states would abolish their weapons or why they would not use them simply because the US did the "right thing." Any thoughts about religion are secular humanist spirituality and say little about traditional apocalyptic visions. In general, there is nothing new in the book, which is an update of the same themes proffered for the past 50 years. Summing Up: Optional. Research and professional collections. A. J.
