About this ebook
Back from the Brink is a history of New Zealand policy on nuclear power and the growth of the anti-nuclear movement, culminating in the 1984 Labour Government's 'No Nukes' policy.
Kevin Clements, a sociology lecturer and peace activist, provides a thorough, meticulously researched examination of the implications of New Zealand's stance. Tracing the history of the country's involvement in the nuclear arms race, he thoughtfully analyses the questions facing New Zealand in an age dominated by nuclear power.
