Description

Thomas Powers (au); Ruthven Tremain (au). “Now we are in for trouble,” responded Robert Oppenheimer, director of the atom-bomb project during WW2, when he was asked to help decide what to do with the bomb. The bomb worked fine. But the question of what to do with the bomb -- or what we will do to ourselves with the bomb -- haunts us still. In this volume, statements from the pens & mouths of men who thought war & made war paint in, stroke by stroke, the great question that looms behind & dwarfs the bomb itself: war, & our historical propensity to make war on one another. This harrowing but enlightening exploration will help readers draw their own conclusions about the biggest issue facing mankind at the beginning of the 21st century.
