Summary: Socialism and the Nuclear Space Age is an objective summing up of the contemporary international situation with humanity's quest for survival as its focus. The key issue engaging the attention of all right-thinking people today is how to avert a nuclear holocaust and thus ensure the continuation of human. civilisation of the millenia, for a world without nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, leading towards a world without war. In the last two years, there has been a lot of new thinking in the major socialist countries, particularly in the Soviet Union, and persistent efforts are being made to avoid the doom confronting humankind. It has become the most urgent question of our time. Simultaneously, the contradictions between socialism and capitalism are growing. Where do the developing countries find themselves in this rapidly changing situation? Science and technology have assured humankind abundant benefit and unrestrained progress towards a better life. At the same time, there are stockpiles of weapons that can wipe out our only world many times over. The choice is thus not only limited but brooks no delay. This is the specifics of the nuclear space age. The book deals with this vital question in the light of party congresses of a number of socialist and socialist-oriented states. It also links developing countries, especially India, to this frame of multifarious relations with socialist countries which have already brought them immense benefit and promise more gains to their mutual advantage and for a better world.
