Long, substantive inscription dated and signed by the author on the fep. Notes. Glossary of Acronyms. Organizations Working to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Forever. Index. Tad Daley has served as a policy advisor and speechwriter to Senator Alan Cranston, Congresswoman Diane Watson, and Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and was a member for many years of the International Policy Department at the RAND Corporation. Tad Daley has written a book for the general reader about this most crucial of contemporary challenges. Apocalypse Never maintains that the abolition of nuclear weapons is both essential and achievable, and reveals in fine detail what we need to do to make it a reality. Daley insists that the nuclear challenge in its many incarnation--nuclear terror, nuclear accident, a nuclear crisis spinning out of control--poses the single most immediate peril. Daley launches a wholesale assault on the nuclear double standard--the notion that the United States permits itself thousands of these weapons but forbids others from aspiring to even one. Apocalypse Never makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda from President Obama, one that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition. In jargon-free language, Daley explores the possible verification measures, enforcement mechanisms, and governance structures of a nuclear weapon?free world. Condition: Very good / Very good.
