Description:

A former editor of Nature and Science reviews the history of nuclear weapons from Einstein's report in 1905 to the present situation created by the arms race. Referring to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the author predicts what may happen if another nuclear war should take place and insists that we should not let it happen again. 『自然と科学』誌の元編者が核兵器開発の歴史をたどる。アインシュタインの1905年の論文から始まり、核競争によってもたらされた世界の危機的状況までを述べている。また、広島と長崎の原爆投下の教訓から、次の核戦争で何が起こるかを予想すれば、核の使用はできないと訴えている。
