Bertrand Russell - Man's Peril

“Man’s Peril is an in-depth analysis of the dangers confronting the modern world and repercussions of atomic warfare. In this essay, he warns the combating nations to set aside their conflicting ideologies in order to save the planet from total destruction. Russell addresses this essay as a member of the species man, whose continued existence is in doubt but not as an exclusive member of any country.He says there has been a conflict between many countries: between Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis; White men and Negros in Africa and more importantly between Communism and Anticommunism. He appeals to everyone to consider themselves only as a member of a biological species."
