Comment by Linus Pauling on the Book Science in the Cause of Man, by Gerard Piel
These penetrating and illuminating essays on the great problems of the modern world should be read by everyone. The author gives a clear and convincing account of how the world has been changed through the discoveries made by scientists, how the stage has been set for the incineration of all of the marvelous inventions of the last 500 million years of evolution, and how we have now reached the point when no one can have any assurance that the great catastrophe of nuclear destruction will not take place unless we think seriously about disarmament. This valuable book should contribute significantly to spreading the conviction that man's old dream of a world without war has now become a practical necessity, and that we are now forced to organize the world community on principles of freedom and justice under law and mutual trust.
