Beskrivning
Examines how the June 12, 1982, rally for nuclear disarmament paved the way for a new generation of activists.On June 12, 1982, one million people filled the streets of New York City and rallied in Central Park to show support for the United Nations' Second Special Session on Disarmament. They demanded an end to the nuclear arms race and called for a shift from military funds to money allocated for human needs. In Saving the World from Nuclear War, Vincent J. Intondi draws on archival materials and interviews with rally organizers and activists in Central Park to explore this demonstration from its inception through the months of organizing, recruiting, and planning, to the historic day itself.

Recensioner i media

[Saving the World from Nuclear War] offers a refreshing retelling of the history of nuclear disarmament and a welcome change from the tendency of nuclear weapons scholarship to focus on the actions of the decision-makers....the book is highly accessible, making it an essential read for young activists and veterans of the peace movement alike.—International Affairs
