The Unconquerable World: Power, Non-Violence And The Will Of People

Throughout history civilisation has been shaped by war. And now, after a century of unprecedented devastation, it seems humankind is preparing to embark on another cycle of violence. Are we condemned to be in a state of perpetual warfare - or is there another way?

Jonathan Schell has consistently been one of the most influential and eloquent voices in the ongoing debate about global warfare and the arms race. His classic bestseller, 'The Fate Of The Earth', helped focus the world's attention on the case for nuclear disarmament and shaped two decades of thinking about man's relationship with agents of destruction.

Now, as the international order is once more in a state of upheaval, Schell returns with a lucid, impassioned, provocative book that points the way out of the bloodshed of the twentieth century, towards another, more peaceful path.
