About This Item
New York:: Simon & Schuster,, 1958.. Good overall - usual toning to the pages. . Trade paperback. One of the most important books by this "angry young sociologist" - a book which presents the idea that the prevention of World War III is the most important task of the present day, but also comments that "The drift and thrust toward World War III is now part of the contemporary sensibility - and the defining characteristic of our time." He believes that all significant problems of contemporary man and society bear upon the issues of war and peace. In this nuclear age, war is no longer a feasible choice. While there have been over 60 years of more limited war since this was written, the reality is that we are now in an escalation of nuclear weapons and arms - not just the US and Russia, but also North Korea and China. Maybe Mills was just ahead of his time. Surprisingly uncommon considering that sales were in the hundreds of thousands. vii, 172 pp.
