WORLD WITHOUT WAR Paperback

"A World Without War" by Sundeep Waslekar is a profound and urgent examination of the history and politics of conflict, offering a compelling roadmap for achieving global peace and progress by stepping back from the brink of a destructive arms race. Waslekar argues that despite technological advancements and the rise of nationalism, a global war, particularly one involving nuclear weapons, poses an existential threat to humanity. Drawing on extensive research in politics, technology, philosophy, and history, the book not only analyzes the origins of war and weaponry and the perils of nuclear proliferation, but also proposes a tangible "global social contract" for peace, asserting that war is ultimately a choice and that humanity has the capacity to choose a different path.
