Is Peace Possible?

By Kathleen Lonsdale

by Simon Webb 28th November 2025

Now seems like a good time to re-publish this book. 2025 marks the eightieth anniversary of Hiroshima, and of the founding of the United Nations. We have war in Europe, Gaza and elsewhere. People mutter about nuclear bombs, and these and the UN are preoccupations of Kathleen Lonsdale’s classic study. Canongate has done the book proud.
