A propos de cet article

249, [5] pages. Illustrations. Map. Periodical Bibliography. Annotated Book Bibliography. Index. Half-title page is missing. Bottom half of pages 95/96 gone. Ex-library with usual markings. Some wear and soiling to covers, some edge soiling. Pencil erasure residue on fep. The book is part of the Opposing Viewpoints Series developed to help readers become more intelligent and discriminating consumers of information. The book uses magazines, journals, books, and newspapers, as well as statements and position papers from a wide range of individuals. The discussion activities are designed to help develop basic reading and thinking skills. Contributors include Carl Sagan, Richard Pipes, Leslie Gelb, McGeorge Bundy, Robert McNamara, George Kennan, Charles Krauthammer, and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Regarding the Opposing Viewpoints series: Each of these information-packed volumes begins with a quotation about the power of free speech and the importance of examining opposing viewpoints on a given controversy. Each book has a section which includes an essay on distinguishing bias from reason, a list of organizations to contact for more information, an annotated bibliography and an index. Articles in each volume are juxtaposed for maximum comparative impact and include the leading polemicists on both sides of the issue, as well as a number of specialists. The volume on nuclear war concerns itself with the questions of how a nuclear war will begin or if it is even possible. Viewpoints are presented on the questions of surviving a nuclear altercation and the worth of nuclear arms agreements. Each topical section contains from four to eight digested articles in matched pairs. The last topic included in the volume is the legitimacy of ``Star Wars'' defense, certainly a timely inclusion. The inclusion of so many aides to reading, such as questions at the beginning of each article to help focus readers, make these particularly useful for students of contemporary issues.…
