25,95 €(IVA inc.)

An extremely provocative thesis that challenges conventional wisdom about thethreat of nuclear weapons at every point. John Mueller reveals in this eye-opening, compellingly argued, and very reassuring book, our obsession with nuclear weapons is unsupported by history, scientific fact, or logic. Examining theentire atomic era, Mueller boldly contends that nuclear weapons have had little impact on history. This controversial volume debunks the received wisdom endorsed both by America's military-industrial complex and by its opponents for more than half a century. Demolishing half-truths and false assumptions, this is an important argument that deserves a wide public hearing
