This work developed out of a three-year trial in a UCLA freshman English course and in a university-wide interdisciplinary course. In addition, the book was influenced by the Editor's involvement in the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation that, among other activities, offered intensive seminars for college teachers. Such experience has shown the Editor that nuclear weapons policy is not an east subject to tech. this book tries to make it teachable. Joe Marvullo (photomontage) (illustrator).
