The twenty-first century has ushered in a world at the atomic edge. The pop culture days of \u003ci\u003eDr. Strangelove\u003c\/i\u003e have been replaced by the all-too-real single day of \u003ci\u003e24\u003c\/i\u003e. Tad Daley has written a book for the general reader about this most crucial of contemporary challenges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Never\u003c\/i\u003e maintains that the abolition of nuclear weapons is both essential and achievable, and reveals in fine detail what we need to do--both governments and movements--to make it a reality. Daley insists that while global climate change poses the single greatest long-term peril to the human race, the nuclear challenge in its many incarnation--nuclear terror, nuclear accident, a nuclear crisis spinning out of control--poses the single most immediate peril. Daley launches a wholesale assault on the nuclear double standard--the notion that the United States permits itself thousands of these weapons but forbids others from aspiring to even one--insisting that it is militarily unnecessary, morally indefensible, and politically unsustainable. He conclusively repudiates the most frequent objection to nuclear disarmament, \"the breakout scenario\"--the possibility that after abolition someone might whip back the curtain, reveal a dozen nuclear warheads, and proceed to \"rule the world.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On the wings of a brand new era in American history, \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Never\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda from President Obama, one that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition. In jargon-free language, Daley explores the possible verification measures, enforcement mechanisms, and governance structures of a nuclear weapon-free world. Most importantly, he decisively argues that universal nuclear disarmament is something we can transform from a utopian fantasy into a concrete political goal.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTad Daley, J.D., Ph.D., directs the Project on Abolishing War at the Center for War\/Peace Studies in New York.
