The 'Ban the Bomb' slogans of the 1950s have been replaced by calls for 'nuclear-free zones,' and discussions of 'megatonnage' and 'fallout' have given way to talks of 'tactical nuclear weapons' and 'limited strike capability.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1982, this book explores the ethical dilemmas posed by nuclear policies and the ongoing debate between proponents of multilateralism and unilateralism in disarmament and arms control. Unlike many books on the subject, it does not present an ideological stance. Instead, it includes a diverse range of essays, written by defense strategists who advocate for deterrence and by academics and churchmen who vehemently oppose it. Additionally, the book includes an essay on efforts to mitigate the horrific brutality of the numerous 'conventional wars' since 1945. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when the rhetoric and misinformation surrounding the debate continued to cloud many crucial aspects, this book emerged as a welcome, sensible, and indispensable contribution. It provided a much-needed platform for nuanced discussions and informed analysis, helping to shed light on the complex and multifaceted issues at the heart of the deterrence debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 367g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367536985\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104136392954,"sku":"9780367536985","price":33.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1663384128944_book.jpg?v=1663691866","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ethics-and-nuclear-deterrence-9780367536985","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
