| 520 | |a In a series of conversations with high officials such as Vietnam-era Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and the last commander of the Strategic Air Command, General George Lee Butler, Schell finds support for complete nuclear disarmament within an unlikely group - the very generals and politicians who devised and executed the nuclear policies of the Cold War. | ||

They urge all citizens "to end the forced cohabitation with horror, the shotgun marriage with final absurdity - to snap out of the trance of the Cold War, annul the double suicide pact...and take the step that alone can free us from nuclear danger and corruption, namely, the abolition of nuclear weapons." | |
