TONGUES OF CONSCIENCE chronicles the roles played by scientists in warfare since the time of Alfred Nobel and the moral battles they have fought with themselves and with others. it shows how the scientists' position has changed from being one of unconcern with the way in which society used their discoveries and inventions, to one of intense political and ethical involvement. It charts the mounting weight of social responsibility with which scientists have had to burden themselves: the unorganised application of science to the Great War; the pacifist causes of Albert Einstein; the face of American, British and German physicists to the atomic bomb; the treachery of the stomic spies, Nunn May and Fuchs; the pillorying of Robert Openheimer, and the present-day conflict in the preparations for chemical and biological weapons which hang over mankind as potential untilmate global destroyers. This 1969 first edition copy is sold in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper.
