Security Without Nuclear Deterrence
The nuclear-armed states and their allies cite nuclear deterrence as the primary justification for maintaining nuclear weapons. Its fallacies must therefore be exposed and alternatives offered if they are to be eliminated. As a former operator of British nuclear weapons, Commander Green chronicles the history, practical difficulties and dangerous contradictions of nuclear deterrence. He offers instead more credible, effective and responsible alternative strategies to deter aggression and achieve real security. 'I commend this book to all who wish to gain a deeper understanding of nuclear deterrence, surely one of the most controversial ideas of our time.' H.E. Sergio Duarte, UN High Represen...
Freedom from Nuclear Weapons Through Legal Accountability and Good Faith
"Most people want to live in a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons and many believe that any country which could even think of using them corrupts its own values. This hope has the backing of law. It is scarcely possible to imagine how nuclear weapons could ever be used lawfully, and there is a solemn treaty to negotiate in Good Faith for their global abolition." "However, a few states claim that their security depends on nuclear weapons. Thousands of these weapons of mass destruction are still ready to be launched at a moment's notice." "In July 2006 legal experts and civil society representatives met in Brussels to examine the legality of nuclear weapons in depth. They developed proposals for action by citizens to uphold the law, calling on diplomats and politicians to honour their Good Faith obligations. This book records their conclusions, and outlines a way forward."--BOOK JACKET.

Unarmed Heroes
In any war, there are always those who, rather than picking up an AK-47, will take the difficult route of active peacemaking. There are individuals in the middle of violence in Afghanistan, Northern Ireland, even in the Congo, who risk their lives to prevent others from being killed. This book tells their stories. Featuring sixteen personal testimonies by those who have summoned the courage to transform violence in their lives, Unarmed Heroes is an inspiration as well as a handbook for overcoming conflict. The contributors, drawn from around the globe, include relatives of those who died in the World Trade Center attack and the Oklahoma bombing; Israeli, Palestinian, and Afghan peace activis...
A Thorn in Their Side - Hilda Murrell Threatened Britain's Nuclear State. She Was Brutally Murdered. This is the True Story of Her Shocking Death
In 1984, Hilda Murrell, aged 78, was found brutally murdered in the Shropshire countryside. She had just gained approval to testify to the unsolved problems of radioactive waste at the first British planning inquiry into a nuclear power plant at Sizewell. Exposing the implausibility of the police theory and how witnesses were leant on, her nephew Robert Green makes a compelling case that Hilda was abducted to find out what she knew about the problems with the nuclear plant.
