Nuclear Weapons: The World's Greatest Threat to Peace.

The global community is currently facing a resurgence in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Given the horrors experienced by the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the dropping of the bomb in 1945, it is difficult to understand why nuclear weapons have not been eradicated entirely.

In addition, the authors outline a global plan as well as a citizen’s action guide for attaining global nuclear weapons disarmament. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
