The War That Must Not Occur
"The danger of a major nuclear catastrophe today is greater than it was during the Cold War, yet most people are blissfully unaware of this... Once a major catastrophe appears to be possible, one must assume that it will in fact occur."
"The mere possession of nuclear weapons is a moral abomination."
The War That Must Not Occur, Jean-Pierre Dupuy, Translated by Malcolm DeBevoise, 2024 >>

The War That Must Not Occur | Stanford University Press
The possibility of a nuclear war that could destroy civilization has influenced the course of international affairs since 1945, suspended like a sword of Damocles above the heads of the world's leaders. The fact that we have escaped a third world war involving strategic nuclear weapons—indeed, that no atomic weapon of limited power has yet been used under battlefield conditions—seems nothing short of a miracle.
