La guerra nuclear ante el sentido común

Written in 1959, at the height of the Cold War, this text was published in an effort to "avoid the catastrophe that a full-scale hydrogen bomb war would entail." Nearly sixty-five years later, the possibility of nuclear conflict is once again a plausible threat, and Bertrand Russell's keen analysis of this absurd yet human self-destructive longing is once again chillingly topical. The firm and radical anti-war position of the philosopher -the only way to end the risk of nuclear war is to end the war itself- is reflected in these controversial pages with rare lucidity and represents, in a world increasingly doomed to conflict, an almost revolutionary point of view.
