Review of 'Gambling with Armageddon' on 'Goodreads'
5 stelle
The real story behind the fiction of an orderly deployment of nuclear weapons, which is simply madness. We conveniently deceive ourselves into thinking that nuclear policy is no longer a threat to humanity, and can be separated from other evils like climate change, or that other issues should take priority. But how can we be so convinced that we'll make the best decisions about the nukes of today, when we've still not learnt our lessons from 1962?
«The real lesson of the Cuban missile crisis–the lesson that is consistently resisted because it marginalizes the value of nuclear weapons–is that nuclear armaments create ht eperils they are deployed to prevent, but are of little use in resolving them.»
