by Schell, Jonathan    Sherwin, Martin J.   
(Hardcover - English - 9781598536584)
75 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a collected edition of three classic accounts of our nuclear predicament and the way forward to a peaceful world, by the Rachel Carson of the antiwar movement.

The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence, and the Will of the People
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9780805044577)
This book mounts perhaps the most impressive argument ever made that there exists a viable and desirable alternative to the continued reliance on war. -The New York Times At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's writings have offered important alternatives to conventional thinking. Now, as conflict escalates around the world, Schell gives us an impassioned, provocative book that points the way out of the unparalleled devastation of the twentieth century toward another, more peaceful path. Tracing the expansion of violence to its culmination in nuclear stalemate, Schell uncovers a simultaneous but little-noted history of nonviolent action at every leve ..

The Jonathan Schell Reader: On the United States at War, the Long Crisis of the American Republic, and the Fate of the Earth
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9781560254072)
At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's writings have always presented nuanced and influential alternatives to conventional thinking. The moral clarity of his reportage first entered the public consciousness with his dispatches for The New Yorker on Vietnam. These seminal articles became The Village of Ben Suc (1967), a searing account that predicted the failure of Pentagon politics. Over the subsequent decades, Schell's varied and consistently prescient articles have articulated the now commonly held notion that image has replaced substance in politics; provided (in Fate of the Earth) an apocalyptic vision of nuclear war that revitalized the disarmament m ..

Real War PB
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9780306809262)
Jonathan Schell's extraordinary on-the-scene writing about Vietnam has stood the test of time in our continuing attempt to understand how and why the United States went to war--and how and why it lost. In "The Village of Ben Suc" written "with skill that many a veteran reporter will envy" (New York Times ), Schell recounts how American forces destroyed a village caught up in the largest American military operation of the war--he flies into Ben Suc in the attack helicopters, follows the assault on the village, and describes the fate of the villages after they have been taken to refugee camps. In "Military Half," Schell describes the destruction of two entire prov ..

The Fate of the Earth and the Abolition
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9780804737029)
Now combined in one volume, these two books helped focus national attention in the early 1980s on the movement for a nuclear freeze. The Fate of the Earth painted a chilling picture of the planet in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, while The Abolition offered a proposal for full-scale nuclear disarmament. With the recent tensions in India and Pakistan, and concerns about nuclear proliferation around the globe, public attention is once again focused on the worldwide nuclear situation. The author is at the forefront of the discussion. In February 1998, his lengthy essay constituted the centerpiece of a special, widely distributed issue of The Nation dealin ..

The Seventh Decade
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9780805088663)
From the bestselling author of The Fate of the Earth , a provocative look at the urgent threat posed by America's new nuclear policies When the cold war ended, many Americans believed the nuclear dilemma had ended with it. Instead, the bomb has moved to the dead center of foreign policy and even domestic scandal. From missing WMDs to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, nuclear matters are back on the front page. In this provocative book, Jonathan Schell argues that a revolution in nuclear affairs has occurred under the watch of the Bush administration, including a historic embrace of a first-strike policy to combat proliferation. The administration has als ..

The Unfinished Twentieth Century: The Crisis of Weapons of Mass Destruction
by Schell, Jonathan       
(Paperback - English - 9781859844939)
In this work, Jonathan Schell, the author of The Fate of the Earth , proposes that the defining characteristic of the twentieth century was the uncontrolled acceleration of humankind's capacity for self-destruction, manifested in 'policies of extermination', which culminated in the construction of the species-threatening nuclear arsenals of the Cold War." Schell examines the legacy this leaves for the new millennium: the more than 30,000 nuclear weapons that remain in existence, the crisis of nuclear arms control that has arisen with the unraveling of the ABM treaty, the stalemate of the START talks, the attractive illusion of missile defense, the arrival of nu ..
