'As tensions rise, the existential threat of nuclear weapons becomes prominent once again and the world needs more critical assessments of what is beingand what could bedone to avoid the catastrophe of nuclear war or accident. Hansons book therefore provides a vital contribution that clearly sets out the case for why we need to reject nuclearism and make a world without nuclear weapons a reality.' Rhys Crilley, International Affairs
'Australian political scientist Marianne Hanson has written a clear-eyed book about the prospects for nuclear disarmament. Hanson soberly concludes that the nuclear-armed states, left to control the terms, the pace and the outcome of an endeavour to which they have pledged themselves for decades, will never give up nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, a path forward to the elimination of nuclear weapons exists, and Hanson describes that path and the challenges along the way.' John Loretz, Medicine, Conflict and Survival -- .
