Description:

This study discusses steps to restart disarmament, such as de-alerting nuclear weapons and introducing policies of "no first use". It catalogues attempts to eliminate nuclear weapons and analyzes whether nuclear weapons prevented a war in Europe between 1945 and 1991, or increased the risks.

Synopsis:

International nuclear disarmament is at a standstill. A Nuclear-Weapon-Free World discusses steps that should be taken to restart the disarmament process, including de-alerting nuclear weapons, ending production of fissile material, and introducing policies of 'no first use'. The book includes a history of attempts to eliminate nuclear weapons, together with a summary of the arguments for and against; an analysis of whether nuclear weapons prevented a war in Europe between 1945 and 1991; and a worldwide survey of public opinion on nuclear weapons.
