"...this insider's account focuses on the people, issues and ideas behind the new peace movement to describe the efforts made by those working to ban nuclear weapons forever. With a foreword by Romeo Dallaire."

"...few can match the knowledge, experience and commitment that Roche brings to his analytical opinion."

"Former Canadian Senator and statesman Douglas Roche has devoted his professional life to public service and his latest book, How We Stopped Loving the Bomb, follows in that noble tradition. The book addresses three grave risks posed by nuclear weapons -- those from existing stockpiles, those from the proliferation of such weapons to additional States, and those from nuclear terrorism. He argues that we should respond to these challenges not simply out of fear, but out of a conviction that it is possible to construct a safer world for all without such weapons. As he says in his book, "what people want most is a reason to hope for a better future." This book makes an eloquent and persuasive case that nuclear disarmament offers the strongest foundation for constructing such a future. He explains how a nuclear-weapon-free world is not just desirable but achievable. And he rekindles our belief in the unlimited potential of what people can achieve when they work together in the interest of humanity."
