Exploring the dynamics of the antinuclear weapons social movement, particularly the freeze and its origins, growth, decline and enduring problems, this work begins with an historical analysis of early attempts to control nuclear weapons. The book continues with a unique sociohistorical case study and attempts to give new insight into how social change occurs in postindustrial society. The seven chapters examine the problems created by the development of technology, nuclear weapons, and the creation of new social classes and new social movements as vehicles to accumulate power.
