Summary:
This series seeks to broaden the base of scholarship and pedagogy in the national security and arms control field, through paperback reissues of important out-of-print works and original publication of new scholarship. This abbreviated version of the author's award-winning trilogy, The Struggle Against the Bomb, shows how a worldwide grassroots campaign challenged the nuclear priorities of great powers. Based on the files of peace and disarmament organizations, formerly top secret government records, interviews with antinuclear activists and government officials, and memoirs and other published materials, the book provides fascinating glimpses of interactions among key activists and policymakers including Albert Einstein, Harry Truman, and Linus Pauling. Wittner teaches history at the State University of New York- Albany and is former president of the Peace History Society. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
