Summary: Needs an index
Comment: To an observer from the Cold War, these Pugwash Proceedings of 1996 might have seemed as the fevered dreams of world peace. Set 5 years after the collapse of the unlamented Soviet Union, when Russia and the US had begun a massive build-down of their nuclear arsenals.

But the participants at these Proceedings are unsatisfied. Several articles discuss the fear of nuclear proliferation. India and Pakistan are mentioned prominently and presciently. Only a few years later, both would detonate fission bombs.

Not all the papers concern nuclear weapons. Conventional weapons also figure. Like perhaps outlawing land mines? Or more effective peacekeeping in Africa? There are even articles on global warming and its possible geopolitical impact.

The papers can be read by a general audience. No specialised background is needed. But an index to the book would have been nice, given its size.
