"KILLING OUR OWN" - читать интересную книгу автора (Wasserman. Harvey)




In 1947 Albert Einstein wrote:

"Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought
into the world the most revolutionary force since the prehistoric
discovery of fire. This basic power of the universe cannot be fitted
into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. For there is no
secret and there is no defense, there is no possibility of control
except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples
of the world.
"We scientists recognize our inescapable responsibility to carry to
our fellow citizens an understanding of the simple facts of atomic
energy and its implications for society. In this lies our only
security and our only hope--we believe that an informed citizenry will
act for life and not death."

It is to that faith in an informed citizenry that we dedicate this
book.
