| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Our parents' generation grew up at a time of intense global instability, with two superpowers
madly competing to build the biggest, most ferocious nuclear arsenal, capable of destruction
on a scale beyond anybody's imagination. For progressive-minded people everywhere,
nuclear disarmament was the cause of the moment-one in which everybody, young and old,
had an equal stake. Thousands demonstrated in the streets to demand an end to the lunacy of
government policies and programmes that threatened to annihilate entire nations. In literature,
cinema, music and art, nuclear weapons featured prominently. Like climate change today, the
bomb was centre stage. |
