More Description Preventing Nuclear Genocide presents four thought-provoking essays on some moral issues of war and peace in the nuclear age. Highlighted is our potential to prevent war between the global powers, and to create the ethically acceptable conditions required for lasting peace among nations with conflicting social systems.

The pressing need for global security is stressed throughout this morally sensitive work.
