| Summary/Abstract |
Sixty-two years ago, Dean Acheson warned President Truman that nuclear weaponry was "a discovery more revolutionary in human society than the invention of the wheel"and that "if the invention is developed and used destructively there will be no victor and there may be no civilization remaining." Dean Acheson was certainly no woolly-eyed disarmer. He promoted the Atlantic alliance as a bul-wark against Soviet expansion.Yet, he recommended approaching Stalin to explore international controls for global ban on nuclear weapons.
