More Reviews for Apocalypse Never

Lawrence Wittner, professor of history at SUNY/Albany and author of the epic three volume trilogy from Stanford University Press The Struggle Against the Bomb, for the History News Network:

"A spirited, ringing call for nuclear weapons abolition -- including why it is imperative and how it can be achieved … Through colorful writing and a convincing argument … this informative, insightful, and powerful book argues that "abolishing nuclear weapons is probably the single most important task the human race can pursue right now to ensure its long-range survival." …Many people now seem sunk in a strange torpor, unable to challenge the existence of thousands of nuclear weapons that menace their future and that of generations to come. Hopefully, Apocalypse Never will help jolt them awake."

Ron Glossop, professor of philosophy at Southern Illinois University and author of Confronting War:

"A masterful combination of fact-filled cogent argumentation with a passionate presentation of the reality … Daley's great writing style filled with memorable quotations makes for captivating reading … It is not only the argumentation dedicated to the overall points that is impressive, but also the massive amount of detailed documentation of specific events and references to the relevant literature on every topic … An important ingredient in persuading (other) countries not to develop nuclear weapons is to create a trustworthy global system with reliable inspection which can eliminate all nuclear weapons, a system which necessarily will need also to inspect within the United States … Even the "Acknowledgements" at the end wonderfully display the personality of the author …"

David Krieger, president of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and author of God's Tears and At the Nuclear Precipice:

"Apocalypse Never explores the dangers of the Nuclear Age, argues that the only way to prevent future nuclear catastrophes is to eliminate the weapons, and provides a roadmap to achieve this goal … It presents a comprehensive overview of the possibilities of nuclear terrorism, accidental nuclear war, mismanagement of a nuclear crisis, and the intentional use of nuclear weapons … It suggests that the NPT should properly have been named the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Elimination Treaty" … It (makes clear that this) is a life-or-death struggle between humans and the tools we have created … Daley's book provides the background and the vision for individuals to become informed and effective citizens of the Nuclear Age …The issue is far too important to be left only in the hands of our leaders."
