Description

"The time has now come for war to be abandoned"

Souvenir typescript containing a section of Linus Pauling's 1958 publication No More War!, two pages, 8.5 x 11, signed boldly at the conclusion in black ink. The typescript, in part: "The greatest change of all is that in the ways of waging war—the change from old-fashioned molecular explosives, the one-ton TNT bomb, to the great nuclear weapon, the superbomb that is twenty million times as powerful…The time has now come for war to be abandoned, for diplomacy to move out of the nineteenth century into the real world of the twentieth century, a world in which was and the threat of war no longer have a rightful place as the instrument of national policy." In fine condition.
