One World Or None by Dexter Masters
In 1946, just months after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the scientists who has developed nuclear technology came together to express their concerns and thoughts about the nuclear age they had unleashed. In a small, urgent book of essays, legends including Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer try to help readers understand the magnitude of their scientific breakthrough, fret openly about the implications for world policy, and caution, in the words of Nobel Prize-winning chemist Harold C. Urey that There is No Defense.''
Dexter Masters (1909–89) was a prolific writer and international bestselling author who helped found the Consumer’s Union. His legacy includes heading the first task force to publicize the dangers of smoking as well as being among the first to draw attention to the worldwide threat posed by the atomic bomb.
