Written by a philosopher, these essays invite the reader to view the issues of peace and war from a wider perspective than the security needs of one's own country, or those of a particular ideological bloc alone. The pressing need for global security is stressed throughout this morally sensitive work.

Review
«His short work does perform several useful services. It helps sharpen our perception of the moral dilemmas of nuclear deterrence. It sheds some interesting light on the meaning of peaceful co-existence and the kinds of compromises essential to bringing it about. And it lays some helpful groundwork for a discussion of the conflicting philosophical frameworks of East and West, expecially in relation to the concept of human rights. It therefore suggests ways in which mutual understanding might be enhanced by dialogue and in which 'ideological struggles' between nations might be carried on nonviolently and in ways that do not aggravate international tensions.» (Michael Allen Fox, Queen's Quarterly)
