Bertrand Russell appeals to all concerned as a human being, a member of the species man, whose
continued existence is in doubt. A war with the hydrogen bombs put an end to the human race. In his
view, seems that the ‘general public ‘have not realised the real impact of a war with atomic bombs. A
hydrogen bomb is 25,000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima. So the stark ,dreadful
and inescapable problem before us is whether we shall put an end to the human race or if we shall give
up wars. He explains in great detail the role of ordinary people in the peace process and requests the
‘general public’ to be more aware and assertive so that fate the nations need not be decided by despotic
leaders alone.
