Inscribed by the author on fep. Richard Jackson Barnet (May 7, 1929 – December 23, 2004) was an American scholar-activist who co-founded the Institute for Policy Studies. After publishing his first book, Who Wants Disarmament? (1960), a study of U.S.-Soviet disarmament negotiations, Barnet joined the State Department in 1961 as an aide to John J. McCloy in the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Barnet left government service in 1963 to co-found, with Marcus Raskin, the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). He served as its co-director until 1978, and remained active at the institute he had helped create until his retirement in 1998.

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1962. First edition/first printing [Scribner's "A"]. Hardcover. 191, [1] p. 22 cm. Footnotes. Maps. Reading List. Index of Major Issues Discussed. Substantial pencil underlining noted. Ink notation inside front cover. The Rev. John C. Bennett was a theologian whose views on religion, politics and social policy influenced American thinking for decades. From 1963 to 1970, he served as the 11th president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He also made a lifelong study of Communism and repeatedly warned against turning the cold war into a religious crusade. That was a time in which he was growing increasingly disturbed about American involvement in Southeast Asia, so much so that he and Rabbi Abraham Heschel formed Clergy and Laity Concerned About the Vietnam War. But Mr. Bennett, ordained in the Congregational Church, was never a pacifist-above-all: in 1941, he opposed American isolationism in the face of Nazi conquests and was a co-founder with Reinhold Niebuhr of the magazine Christianity and Crisis. He studied at Williams College and did graduate studies at Oxford University in England and at Union Theological Seminary. He held various religious and teaching posts, joining the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, an interdenominational institution in Morningside Heights, in 1943. He became dean of the faculty in 1955 and was acting president for a brief time before assuming the presidency. In 1970, Mr. Bennett was one of three theologians invited by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to testify on the war in Southeast Asia. In retirement, he continued to write and lecture and to condemn nuclear warfare. More
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1962. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated] [Has on the verso A-I.62 [H]. Hardcover. 191, [1] pages. A reading list. Index of major issues discussed. Ex-library with the usual library markings. Tape marks on dust jacket, which has wear, soiling, and is in a plastic sleeve. Seven authorities explore the most crucial issue of our time. These authorities are: John H. Herz, David R. Inglis, Kenneth W. Thompson, Erich Fromm, Paul Ramsey, Roger L. Shinn and the editor. Derived from a Kirkus review: Dr. Bennett, Dean of Union Theological Seminary in New York, has brought together six authorities, added his own contribution to the subject, and given the inquiring reader a valuable collection of incisive pieces surveying various aspects of the nuclear arms struggle. David Inglis presents in The Nature of Nuclear War, a graphic picture of what a nuclear attack would bring in terms of death and destruction and extended genetic disaster. Kenneth Thompson weighs the ethical aspects, warning that alleviation could well be impossible if we assume that disaster could never strike. John Bennett's views on Moral are somewhat at odds with Paul Ramsey in The Case for Making thus challenging the reader's opinion. Erich Fromm explores the position with considerable trepidation, while Roger Shinn gives us a hold on a newly refurbished faith in Faith and the Perilous Future The section International Politics and the Nuclear Dilemma by John Herz is challenging. This includes one of the scarcer, and quite insightful, essays by Fromm. More

Washington DC: National Defense University Press, 2010. First Printing [Stated]. Wraps. vii, [1], 16 pages. Notes. In a 1999 interview, Ashton Carter, a key figure in helping to create and implement the threat reduction program initiated by Senators Sam Nunn (D–GA) and Richard Lugar (R–IN), recalled four visits between 1994 and 1996 to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) base in Pervomaysk, Ukraine. Planted in the soil of this base were the most powerful rockets mankind has ever made, armed with hundreds of hydrogen bombs and aimed at the United States. In turn, Pervomaysk was itself the target of similar American missiles and weapons. Under the Nunn-Lugar program, the missiles deployed at Pervomaysk by the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces and the silos that housed them were destroyed. More

DJ has some sticker residue on the front. Hans Albrecht Bethe (July 2, 1906 – March 6, 2005) was a German-American nuclear physicist who made important contributions to astrophysics, quantum electrodynamics, and solid-state physics, and who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. For most of his career, Bethe was a professor at Cornell University. During World War II, he was head of the Theoretical Division at the secret Los Alamos laboratory that developed the first atomic bombs. There he played a key role in calculating the critical mass of the weapons and developing the theory behind the implosion method used in both the Trinity test and the "Fat Man" weapon dropped on Nagasaki in August 1945. After the war, Bethe also played an important role in the development of the hydrogen bomb, although he had originally joined the project with the hope of proving it could not be made. Bethe later campaigned with Albert Einstein and the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists against nuclear testing and the nuclear arms race. He helped persuade the Kennedy and Nixon administrations to sign the 1963 Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (SALT I). His scientific research never ceased and he was publishing papers well into his nineties, making him one of the few scientists to have published at least one major paper in his field during every decade of his career, which in Bethe's case spanned nearly seventy years.

Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2000. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. x, 341, [1] pages. Map. Index. Inscribed by the author (Bathia) on the half-title page. Inscription reads For Randy with best wishes Shyam Bhatia April 2006. Some ink comments and underlining and marks noted. The authors were journalists who interviewed Iraqi defectors speaking at the risk of their lives. The authors present evidence that Saddam Hussein will not rest until Iraq becomes a nuclear threat to the West--a threat, they argue, that has been aided by the Clinton Administration's dismantling of United Nations weapons inspections. This work, which pre-dates the U.S. invasion of Iraq, provides one of the clearest presentations of assumptions and arguments that were the underpinnings of the policy of regime change and concern about weapons of mass destruction programs. Shyam Bhatia (born 1950) is an Indian-born British journalist, writer and war reporter based in London. He has reported from conflict zones such as the Middle East, Afghanistan and Sudan, and is a former diplomatic editor of The Observer. He has also served as US correspondent and Foreign Editor of the Bangalore-based Deccan Herald and Editor of Asian Affairs magazine in London. Bhatia was educated at The Doon School in India and Leighton Park School in England before going to the University of Oxford. He is a columnist for the Indian Express. He has published several books based on his war reporting, and a political biography of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. In 1993, he won the Foreign Reporter of the Year for his coverage of the suffering of the Marsh Arabs in Southern Iraq. More
