Book Description

The Path to Zero: Dialogues on Nuclear Dangers is an important new book by two long-time leaders of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Richard Falk (Senior Vice President) and David Krieger (President). The book contains ten dialogues on different aspects of nuclear disarmament:

• The Nuclear Age
• Nuclear Deterrence
• Nuclear Proliferation
• Nuclear Arms Control and Nuclear Disarmament
• Nuclear Weapons and Militarism
• Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Energy
• Nuclear Weapons and International Law
• Nuclear Weapons, Culture and Morality
• Nuclear Weapons and Democracy
• The Path to Zero

Commenting on the book, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, "We are greatly privileged, like flies on the wall, to join this conversation between two remarkable stalwarts, Richard Falk and David Krieger, in the campaign for a nuclear-free world. If we want to survive in a habitable world, then we have no choice - we must heed, and do so urgently, these lovers of humankind."

Daniel Ellsberg, who famously released the Pentagon Papers in 1971, said, "In The Path to Zero, Falk and Krieger engage in a stunningly eloquent dialogue on a range of nuclear dangers and our common responsibility to put an end to them. This is urgent reading for citizens, scientists, policy-makers, and political leaders - actually for anyone who cares about the future of civilization and life on earth."
