Nuclear war - nuclear peace

The author vividly and also clearly analizes for the interested man on the street the dilemma of the arms race, briefly explains the strategic plans of the atomic powers and describes in detail the technology of the devil's wonder-toy - nuclear weapons. He does not shrink away from critically questioning technology, planning and disarmament problems or from exposing the roots of the armanent trends and the security-policy problems of the 80's. He briefly outlines the paths of planning, which security-policy may take in the new decade to preserve security and armament control. (orig./HP)
