Summary: "The year of 1945 saw both the dawning of the age of nuclear weapons and the creation of the United Nations for the maintenance of world peace. Compared with the huge and continuing outlays of time and money on research and development of weapons since that date, little effort has been devoted to ways of ridding mankind of war and its armaments. Ending War contains fifteen essays on this topic, written by world renowned political thinkers and scientists including Robert S. McNamara and Mikhail Gorbachev."--Publisher description.
