New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982. Hardcover first edition - A book which looks at the fact that man for the first time may annihilate itself as a species. The NY Times review stated "This is a work of enormous force. There are moments when it seems to hurtle almost out of control, across an extraordinary range of fact and thought. But in the end, it accomplishes what no other work has managed to do in the years of the nuclear age. It compels us and compel is the right word to confront head on the nuclear peril.Ó While this book focuses on the dangers of nuclear arms, it is also relevant to today's climate crisis.
