" A reference for activists and government officials who truly wish to represent the future of the planet." -- Helen Caldicott, "The Progressive"
" The quality and prodigious depth of Wittner' s scholarship in tracing such a disparate and complex multinational history mark a new and invaluable contribution to our understanding of where the struggle has been and where it might lead. . . . [Wittner] provides the best and most comprehensive account yet to be written of the anti-nuclear movement and its interactions with officialdom. Out of the welter of facts he has crafted a highly readable narrative "cum" analysis that should long weather the test of time." -- "Social Alternatives"

Excerpts from some recent reviews of RESISTING THE BOMBThe following are some excerpts from recent reviews of RESISTING THE BOMB (vol. 2 of THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE BOMB):
"[A] pathbreaking book. . . . For activists and government officials who truly wish to represent the future of the planet." -- Helen Caldicott, THE PROGRESSIVE
"Combines mastery of informational detail with breadth of credible analysis. . . . Deftly recreates the mood and tensions of that period. . . . If Wittner's third volume continues the excellent work of his second, the benefit will be enormous." -- WASHINGTON POST
"Wittner's canvas is huge, his coverage almost encyclopedic. . . . A trove of information and ideas." -- PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"RESISTING THE BOMB is an important addition to the literature about the disarmament movement in the nuclear age. The second volume in Lawrence Wittner's projected trilogy . . . , it picks up the story where the first volume -- ONE WORLD OR NONE -- left off. That earlier work, published in 1993, won the Warren Kuehl Prize of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. The new volume is written with the same clarity and conviction, and is an equally impressive work." -- THE BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS
"The most complete analysis and history of the achievements of 'the largest grassroots struggle in modern history.'" -- CND TODAY
