SUMMARY:The Bomb: Understanding its History and the Hope for a Nuclear-Free Future
DESCRIPTION:City Lights Booksellers & Publishers in conjunction with the San Francisco Bay Chapter of Physician’s for Social Responsibility present \nThe Bomb: Understanding its History and the Hope for a Nuclear-Free Future \n \nA discussion with Fred Kaplan\, James L Nolan Jr.\, Dr. Tova Fuller & Dr. Robert Gould (of Physicians for Social Responsibility S.F.

If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———– \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n(Click Here) to make reservations \n————- \nJoin City Lights and the Bay Area Chapter of Physician’s for Social Responsibility in commemorating the 75th anniversary of the bombings that killed over 200\,000 human beings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. City Lights has a special connection to these events. Lawrence Ferlinghetti as a Naval commander serving during World War Two was one of the few American soldiers to walk on Nagasaki shortly after the bombs were dropped. What he experienced there changed his life. In this afternoon of discussion we hope to reaccess the events of that time\, their impact on the world\, and where stand now\, facing the dawn of a new global nuclear arms race that compounds the climate and pandemic threats to human survival. At a time when the Nuclear Weapons States possess more than 13\,000 nuclear weapons\, we will focus on the manifold threats posed by new global programs to expand and modernize nuclear weapons arsenals\, the rejection of arms control treaties\, as well as the heightened great-power confrontation now accelerating in the Pacific region. While we face our unfolding planetary emergencies\, the profound “opportunity costs” of our government planning to spend over $4 million an hour over the next 30 years to potentially annihilate countless millions of people is unfathomable. Our speakers will also present alternative visions offered by the global movement to abolish nuclear weapons epitomized by the 2017 United Nations’ Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons\, and the prospects for connecting this with wider popular movements seeking to transform our global priorities in the direction of climate\, environmental\, and social justice necessary for global survival. \n————- \ncelebrating two new books: \n   \nAtomic Doctors: Conscience and Complicity at the Dawn of the Nuclear Age \nby James L Nolan Jr. – published by Belknap/Harvard Press \nA vital and vivid account of a largely unknown chapter in atomic history\, Atomic Doctors is a profound meditation on the moral dilemmas that ordinary people face in extraordinary times. Atomic Doctors follows physicians as they sought to maximize the health and safety of those exposed to nuclear radiation\, all the while serving leaders determined to minimize delays and maintain secrecy. \n(Purchase Book Here) in the near future \nand \nThe Bomb: Presidents\, Generals\, and the Secret History of Nuclear War \nby Fred Kaplan – published by Simon & Schuster \nFrom the author the classic The Wizards of Armageddon and Pulitzer Prize finalist comes the definitive history of American policy on nuclear war—and Presidents’ actions in nuclear crises—from Truman to Trump. \n(Purchase Book Here) in the near future \n——— \nFred Kaplan is the national-security columnist for Slate and the author of five previous books\, Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War\, The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War (a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestseller)\, 1959\, Daydream Believers\, and The Wizards of Armageddon.
