Historical consensus views the Euromissile Crisis of the early 1980s as "the last battle of the Cold War." In this illuminating re-examination of this multifaceted campaign, Beyond the Euromissile Crisis broadens our understanding of anti-nuclear activism, highlighting how it remains a truly global phenomenon. Investigating the motivations, forms of action, and accomplishments of activists from South Africa, Polynesia, Brazil and elsewhere, this volume offers new ways of conceptualizing the chronology of anti-nuclear protest.
