Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Mark to edge. Slight shelf wear to D/J. The arms race has got out of hand. The generals have lost control of it and the politicians - British, American, Russian, French - deplore it but can't or won't do anything to stop it. The economic and financial excesses of the run-away race are so fantastic that few people can comprehend their scope. Five hundred billion dollars a year, and this sum is growing, go into the arms trade: the multi-nationals are thriving; fifty per cent of today's scientists are working for the military; inflation in rich country increases; poor countries are supplied with tankis, missiles and paratroopers instead of tractors, school and doctors. Representative of 149 countries who met in New York in 1978 at the UN Special session on Disarmament, declared officially that the race must stop. But it hasn't. And unless enough people become really angry about the shams and miscalculations of an arms race that no one wants, brinkmanship will win the day. The author, an international lawyer, has produced a controversial compassionate and much needed guide to what is really going on in our world. 211 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
