No-First-Use Summary

No-First-Use by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute

The debate on no-first-use of nuclear weapons has been conducted on a number of fronts. First use of nuclear weapons has come under challenge from many different directions: from church synods, from international lawyers, in debates at the United Nations, and from strategic thinkers.

Originally published in 1984, this book takes stock for and against no-first-use and examines the political, military and arms control implications of such a commitment.
