Description

As nuclear weapons fall into the hands of more and more nations, the danger that they will be used becomes ever more real. In June 1985, two months before the third Review conference on the Treaty on the Non-Rroliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the influential Geneva-based Groupe de Bellerive
convened a Colloquium, attended by leading advisers to the superpowers, representatives of the Third World, and eminent scientists, strategists, and politicians, to discuss the subject in an unofficial setting. This volume records the proceedings of this historic meeting, which included speakers
such as Senator Edward Kennedy, Pierre Trudeau, Carl Sagan, Gabriel Garcia Márquez, and John Kenneth Galbraith, and provides essential reading for anyone concerned about the prospects for our planet in the final years of this century.
