Description
Summary:	[...]time has proved that Dr. Strangelove was not just a passing figure, for his "Doomsday Machine" continues to exist in the massive nuclear arsenals and threats of the United States and Russia and the other nuclear weapons states. [...]when all the numbers of expected casualties from all-out nuclear war were added up, Ellsberg realized the world was facing the extermination of over half a billion people. Ellsberg harbours the hope that the full exposure of the Doomsday Machine he proffers in this book will finally lead to public rejection of nuclear weapons. The new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, viciously rejected by the nuclear powers, is a sign of hope.
