Ebook: Out of the Nuclear Shadow

In May 1998 one-sixth of humanity was thrust into the bomb's shadow by nuclear test explosions in India and Pakistan. This collection of historic public statements, recent writings by scholars, and resources, gathers the diverse voices, traditions, and approaches of the anti-nuclear movement in the two countries. It attempts to understand and challenge the causes and consequences of the nuclearization of South Asia, and to confront governments that see nuclear weapons as moments of glory in an otherwise dismal contemporary history.
