• We Can Avert Nuclear War
  Edited by Robert Epstein and Lucy Webster.
  This book provides some good background to the article about Pugwash in the October issue of The Peace Calendar. This volume consists of the proceedings of the 25th anniversary commemorative Pugwash conference held last year in Nova Scotia. Part I is mostly formal remarks; in Part 11 the participants get down to issues. I found nothing all that new, and certainly nothing to justify the title. The participants disagreed somewhat about how much of a verification problem is presented by cruise missiles. This issue is of immense importance and it deserves extensive technical discussion, which is not provided here. We Can Avert Nuclear War will be of use to those who have a specific interest in Pugwash, but it’s not essential for the general reader.

• _This is the Way the World Will End, This is the Way You Will End, Unless…_By Harold Freeman

“A big book is a big evil” An updated version of an earlier American edition, it provides an admirably concise account of the problem of nuclear proliferation. The best introduction to the subject I have found, it is clear, to the point and gripping. It successfully condenses .a great deal of research into a few pages without sacrificing accuracy or attention to detail. For anyone uncertain about the nuclear issue. it provides an ideal (and inexpensive) way to convince them of the importance of nuclear disarmament. It is easily read in a few hours, but will leave its readers pondering for days.

• “And Then There Were None” by Eric Frank Russell.
  Found in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Ila (Ben Bova, ed.), this novella is an intriguing extrapolation of the effects of civil disobedience on another planet in the far future. The story is even more thought-provoking and entertaining than it was when it was first published in 1951.
