I’m excited to be able to announce that my new book, ‘The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament: A Short History’, is slated for publication on 14 November.
The book covers the campaign in the broadest sense – from the Direct Action Committee that existed before CND was set up in 1958 to the Committee of 100 and the tumultuous movement of the 1980s, including European Nuclear Disarmament and the Greenham Common women’s peace camp. It discusses the campaign’s role in the end of the Cold War and after, as well as its linkages to antiwar movements from Vietnam to Gaza, as well as other social and political movements.
Highly topical, as the new age of nuclear politics raises the question of how we respond. Further details and ordering information HERE.
