| Samenvatting: | Statistics play a central role in the case for increasing nuclear arsenals and accelerating the arms race. We are told about "their" nuclear superiority that threatens "our" defenses about the limited consequences of nuclear war and so on. (1982!)
This pamphlet takes up such arguments, providing both statistical data and critical tools to allow people to counter them. The discussion here deals with the arms race and the "nuclear balance" in Europe, with Britain's military activities and involvement in the NATO, with nuclear proliferation, with the effects of nuclear war and the impact of civil defense, plus a host of other issues. Most importantly, it shows not only how to avoid being confused by the statistics, but how to use them. |
