ABOUT THE BOOK

Helen Caldicott’s The New Nuclear Danger was first issued in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Frighteningly timely, the book has since gone through seven printings.

Noting the incredible bellicosity of the current American administration in light of its indebtedness to the arms industry, Caldicott warned of the enormous dangers of allowing weapons manufacturers to dictate foreign policy—warnings that went unheeded with results we are enduring today.
