Summary, etc. Political decisions are made by governments, and responsibility for the arms race rests squarely on their shoulders. However, scientists and their engineer colleagues have been depicted as arch villains, fuelling the arms race by putting their knowledge at the disposal of military prowess, with little or no thought as to anti-social consequences.<br/>This over-simplification is false, but to what extent? Scientists as a group are among the most highly educated in the population; many have thought profoundly and have written about different aspects of their involvement in military undertakings, especially after the advent of nuclear weapons in the Second World War.<br/>In this book, a group of eminent scientists and scholars consider all aspects of this question, particularly with reference to nuclear weapons, under the following broad headings:<br/>* Role of science and technology in the arms race,<br/>* Role of scientists in the arms race.<br/>* Movements of scientists against the arms race.<br/>* Social responsibility of scientists.<br/>* Measures to encourage scientists to be actively concerned with disarmament<br/>* Role of the United Nations.
