A disarming argument (review of Why Nuclear Disarmament Matters by H. Blix; 2008) [books]

If you admire efforts by Henry Kissinger to revive nuclear disarmament negotiations, and yet you also respected Hans Blix for standing up to President George W. Bush in the run-up to the second Iraq war, then this little book about nuclear disarmament is for you. Why Nuclear Disarmament Matters is the latest-and one of the best-in an uneven but ambitious series of short and accessible introductions to various weighty subjects, from global poverty to capital punishment.
