More Praise for Apocalypse Never

"Nuclear proliferation, nuclear terrorism, and the dream of nuclear abolition have been studied primarily by experts and policy wonks -- the 'nuclear priesthood.' The subject cries out for clarity, relevance, and the ability to engage ordinary citizens. Daley answers this call splendidly. "

—Robert K. Musil, Nuclear Studies Institute, American University; former Executive Director and CEO, Physicians for Social Responsibility (Nobel Peace Laureate organization); author of Hope for a Heated Planet.

“The late U.S. Senator Alan Cranston (D-CAL, 1969–1993) served as a mentor both to me and to Tad Daley. Senator Cranston’s single greatest passion was to rid the world of the scourge of nuclear weapons. Apocalypse Never identifies and counters every one of the daunting challenges inherent in this task. This book is a compelling call to action.”

—Congressman Mel Levine (D-CAL, 1983–1993)

“In a fresh, lively, accessible style, Apocalypse Never goes to the essence of complex issues of why and how to leave the age of nuclear weapons behind. Read, act, and survive!”

—John Burroughs, executive director, Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy, and coeditor, Nuclear Disorder or Cooperative Security?

“Apocalypse Never describes why the abolition of nuclear weapons is both imperative and possible. In clear, everyday prose, Tad Daley breathes new life into the anti-nuclear movement with a strong sense of hope and an inspiring call to action.”

—Eric Garcetti, president, Los Angeles City Council

“Tad Daley not only provides a scholarly review of reasons for ridding the world of nuclear weapons, he uses the essential but underused gift of imagination to design a plausible pathway to a new world.”

—David Krieger, founder and president, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and author of Nuclear Weapons and the World Court

“Apocalypse Never persuasively discusses the dangers of living with nuclear weapons, as well as immediate steps that can reduce their threat. Some, including me, may question whether it is possible or even desirable to discuss a nuclear weapons–free world, but the issues Daley treats deserve serious discussion and debate.”

—Michael D. Intriligator, professor of economics, political science, and public policy, UCLA

“Apocalypse Never builds a compelling case for one of the most urgent causes of our time—the global abolition of nuclear weapons. Tad Daley writes with all the seriousness the subject requires, but refreshingly eschews the jargon too often applied by ‘experts’ that estranges those not conversant in their lingo.”

—Kevin Martin, executive director, Peace Action

“In Apocalypse Never, Tad Daley illuminates the moral abomination that highlights the American nuclear legacy. Then, he charts a course not only toward nuclear disarmament, but indeed toward general and complete disarmament, and an end to militarism itself. Read this book, and act upon its precepts.”

—Saul Mendlovitz, Dag Hammarskjöld Professor, Rutgers Law School

“Tad Daley is a genius on nuclear abolition. His knowledge spans decades. I’ve watched him educating small groups, far from the spotlight, and his message is always shining and clear—that the shameful, brief history of nuclear weapons must now come to an end.”

—Mimi Kennedy, actor and chair, Progressive Democrats of America

“Apocalypse Never is a compelling book whose time has come. Tad Daley’s prose, like his charismatic oratory, is forceful and exciting. His blueprint for abolition is a wonderful stew of history, humor, and strategic thinking—and it will motivate readers to make it a reality.”

—Don Kraus, chief executive officer, Citizens for Global Solutions

“In real terms, not just in theory, Tad Daley answers all the hard questions. Buy it, read it, and take action with the millions of citizens joining this growing movement.”

“This book is a timely discussion of the difficult choices our country must make as we move towards a world free of nuclear weapons.”

—Ambassador Robert T. Grey, Jr., former U.S. Representative to the UN Conference on Disarmament; director, Bipartisan Security Group

“Tad Daley joins the ranks of Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Sam Nunn and other statesmen calling for abolition. He alerts us to the challenges we face in a netherworld of psychological disarmament, and reveals that, thanks to Bush and Cheney’s fabulous misadventure, ‘Axis of Evil’ dictators have learned that it is better to have WMDs than be wrongly accused of having them.”

—Ian Masters, Background Briefing, KPFK/Pacifica Public Radio

“Read this book as though your life and the lives of your children depend on it . . . because they do.”

—John Loretz, Program Director, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War
