The New Nuclear Danger: G.W.Bush's military-industrial complex

by: Dr. Helen Caldicott

ISBN: 1565847407

First published in 2002, Dr. Caldicott's work explores the military industrial complex in the United States.  She identifies the corporations and the weapons of mass destruction that, have and, are being manufactured.  This highly detailed book provides the reader with hard facts and statistics so that we come to understand with clarity the horrible destructive power of weapons that have no sensible reason to exist, except to make massive profits for greedy corporations.  She provides the rationale for treaties, and describes the game of power politics that has been waged to avoid such agreements so that the 'merchants of death' can continue to manufacture  weaponry of mass death.  Dr. Caldicott is the founding member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, a non profit organization.  She has been named as one of the Most Influential Women of the 20th Century, been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and has honorary degrees from 19 Universities.  She provides us with a clear vision why all nuclear weapons should, and must be destroyed.
