This book is a deeply inspiring account of Dr. Perry’s experiences during and after the Cold War. It follows his career as he worked to shape U.S. nuclear weapons policy under three Administrations beginning with the Cuban Missile Crisis and ending with overseeing the dismantling of nuclear weapons, during the Clinton Administration. He explains what led him to his position that nuclear weapons “endanger our society rather than securing it.”
Politics and Prose will have copies of the book for sale.
