Description
Avoiding Apocalypse: How Science and Scientists Ended the Cold War tells the little-known story of the worldwide scientists' boycott of the Soviet Union that set in motion an astonishing sequence of events. Starting simultaneously with the rise to power of an obscure Soviet bureaucrat named Mikhail Gorbachev, the scientists' boycott led to the end not only of the Cold War but also of the Soviet Union itself.
