| Samenvatting: | One cannot overestimate the sensational impact of the conclusions of prominent Soviet scientists based on on their investigations into the long term Global after effects of a nuclear war. Their results were completely consistent with the date obtained by American scientists, even though they used different research programs and methodologies. Leading Soviet and American scientists deliverd their grim and disturbing massage at international conferences held in Moscow and Washington, and at a Seminar at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in the Vatican in January 1984.
The scientists conclusion is clear and unambiguous: the use of even a fraction of the nuclear arsenal that exists in the world today would result in a 'nuclear night' and a 'nuclear winter', which would ultimately cause unprecedented global ecological disaster. Such an 'atmospheric bomb' would mean the extermination of all living things on earth.
This book covers the main research on the subject by the Soviet scientists conducted under the auspices of the Soviet Scientists Committee for the Defence of Peace Against Nuclear Threat.
The leading Soviet scientists, contributors to this collection, describe in a popular manner, but on a high scientific level, the essence of those vital investigations which may well become the turning point in this extremely dangerous and senseless nuclear arms race.
