ER physician Ira Helfand, co-founder of Back from the Brink and a leader of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, lays out just how close the world has already come to nuclear war, and how much closer it is getting. He walks through today's flashpoints, from Ukraine and Iran to India-Pakistan and the Koreas, the physical reality of a single detonation, and the global famine that would follow a US-Russia exchange, before making the case that abolition, not deterrence, is the only real safeguard, and that ordinary people will have to force that change.
