  • Bending the Rules: Morality in the Modern World - From Relationships to Politics and War (Hardcover) by Robert A. Hinde (Author). Oxford University Press, 2007. In this book, which he originally began as a joint project with Joseph Rotblat, Robert Hinde explores a deeper understanding of morality based on the behavioural sciences, and uses this perspective to explore ways to move toward the abolition of war.

Letter:
"The five retired military commanders suggest that a Nato policy involving readiness to make pre-emptive strikes is necessary to counter political fanatics and international terrorism….But a nuclear strike is unlikely to deter a political fanatic and would be ineffective against terrorists….We must choose between a world ruled by threat, or one ruled by law and mutual understanding. Most of us would prefer the latter. The first step towards it must be to take all nuclear weapons off alert and a commitment to no first use." Robert Hinde, Chair British Pugwash Group, The Guardian, 23 January 2008.
