More about the book

The narrative centers on the impactful journey of a physician who, alongside a Soviet colleague, founded the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War amid Cold War tensions. Through grassroots mobilization, they united over 150,000 doctors globally to advocate against nuclear proliferation, ultimately earning the Nobel Peace Prize. The memoir not only recounts this significant movement but also critiques the underlying motivations of the Cold War, framing militarism as a pervasive disease that requires collective action and expertise to combat effectively.
